[edit] Career
Having played his junior football with the Yarrawarrah Tigers,[1] Reddy made his debut with Parramatta in 2005, scoring a try in his first game. In his first 2 seasons, he played 6 games, playing as a fullback.[2]
Reddy's usual position has been either on the wing or in the centres. With the departure of Brett Finch in the 2009 season, the Eels moved Reddy into the halves, playing him at Five-Eighth for one game but moved back into the centres when Daniel Mortimer moved to the five-eighth position.
Unveiled in The Daily Telegraph's exclusive fan poll on 23 September 2009, Reddy was chosen as the most under-rated player in the NRL.
In 2010 Reddy was selected to represent the City Origin side after an injury to Braith Anasta.
A torn pectoral muscle in round 10 saw Reddy miss the rest of the 2011 season.[3] Two months later he signed a 2 year contract with the Wests Tigers for the 2012 and 2013 seasons.[4]
[edit] Family
Reddy is the son of former International and Dragon forward Rod Reddy, and the brother of Sydney FC footballer Liam Reddy. He is also the brother of Bianca Reddy who plays netball for the Adelaide Thunderbirds. He is married to Bulldogs winger Bryson Goodwin's sister, Rearne[citation needed] and is the brother in law of the St. George Illawarra winger Bronx Goodwin
