Playing career

2015
[edit]In round 10 of the 2015 NRL season, Redman made his NRL debut for Newcastle against the Wests Tigers,[7][8] scoring a try on debut.[9] On 16 June, he joined the Gold Coast Titans mid-season for the rest of the year[10] to try and play regular first-grade, stating "Newcastle will always be home to me, but this was too big an opportunity to knock back. I'd be kicking myself if I did knock it back then didn't get another shot at Newcastle for the rest of the year with the line-up that they've got here and where I fit in that."[11] He made his Gold Coast debut in Round 15 against the New Zealand Warriors.[12] He went on to play in five games for the Gold Coast.[13] before being released at the end of the year and signing with the Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup.[14]
2016
