Career
Reddington started his football career aged 19 playing for his local non league side Lincoln United. While playing for the club, he was scouted by Premiership giants Chelsea where he signed for the club at the start of the 1999–2000 season. The club at the time were managed by Gianluca Vialli. While at Stamford Bridge Vialli loaned Reddington out to Swedish club Kalmar FF. While in Sweden he scored four times in sixteen appearances.
In 2001 Reddington signed for Mansfield Town following an initial loan spell at Field Mill. He remained at Mansfield until a year later when Nigel Clough signed him for Burton Albion also following a loan spell. Since leaving Burton in 2003, Reddington has played for Gainsborough Trinity, Grantham Town and his former club Lincoln United.
Reddington announced his retirement from competitive football midway through the 2007–08 season while playing for Grantham. He signed for amateur side Ruston Sports at the start of the 2008–09 campaign, playing in the Lincolnshire League.[1] At the start of the 2009–10 season it was announced that Reddington would re-sign for Lincoln United. He returned to Ruston Sports before rejoining Lincoln United in October 2010 and debuting in the 0-0 FA Trophy draw at Northwich Victoria.[2] In February 2015, he joined Sleaford Town on a month's loan[3] but was sent off for two yellow cards in the club's 2–0 home defeat to Wisbech Town on 10 February.[4]
