Nathan Daniel Jerome Redmond[2] (born 6 March 1994)[1] is an English professional footballer who plays for Birmingham City. He made his first-team debut for Birmingham in the Football League Cup second-round tie against Rochdale in August 2010, becoming the club's second-youngest player ever at the age of 16 years and 173 days.[3] He has represented England at under-16 and under-17 levels. He plays as a wide midfielder.

Club career

Early life and career

Redmond was born in Birmingham,[1] where he attended the Oval Primary School in Yardley and then Sheldon Heath Community Arts College.[4] According to the player's Facebook page, he was first noticed by Birmingham City F.C.'s Academy scouts as an eight-year-old while playing alongside older boys, and scored a hat-trick in his first match for the club's under-10 team.[5]

He scored three goals as Birmingham's under-15 team reached the semifinal of the Nike Premier Cup for the first time in April 2009,[6] and in the same season played in the club's under-18 Academy side.[7]

In the 2009–10 season, despite being still a schoolboy, Redmond made 15 appearances, scoring 3 times, for the Academy under-18s.[8] He also made a few substitute appearances for the reserves, including a "lively late performance" against Aston Villa's reserve team in early March 2010.[9] Redmond was given a first-team squad number and named on standby for the Premier League match at home to Everton a couple of days later,[10] but did not make the 18-man squad.[1] He was an unused substitute for Birmingham's final home match of the 2009–10 season, aged 16 years and 56 days. Had he taken the field, he would have become the club's youngest first-team player and also the youngest ever Premier League player, at nine days younger than the record set by Fulham's Matthew Briggs in 2007.[11][12]

Academy manager Terry Westley described him in June 2010 as "one of those wingers like an Aaron Lennon or Ashley Young. He has got pace and can run the ball past defenders and has the creativity to go with it", and confirmed that other clubs had shown an interest in him.[11] He signed a scholarship contract with Birmingham City in July 2010.[2]

Redmond made his first-team debut for Birmingham in the Football League Cup second-round tie against Rochdale on 26 August 2010, replacing Spanish midfielder Enric Vallès in the 78th minute.[13] At 16 years and 173 days – 34 days older than Trevor Francis was on his debut – he became the club's second-youngest player ever. Manager Alex McLeish was highly complimentary about his brief appearance:

He set it alight. I know we never had a full house, but the fans that were there warmed to him. His performance was very bright, quick, he got a couple of shots away. And it excited me. It was a really bright spark for us. Has he got a big future? It looks like it. He's electric. He's a right winger but he showed his versatility coming in off the left and going in and hitting shots. He was a handful for Rochdale. It was good to see somebody with a little bit of pace going by defenders.[3]

To gain first-team experience, Redmond joined League Two club Burton Albion in January 2011 on a month's Football League youth loan. This arrangement allows the player to appear in non-first-team matches for Birmingham when not required by the loaning club.[14] However the loan was cancelled a few days later when the Football League, who had initially ratified the loan, realised that the rules forbade a first-year scholar from signing on loan for a League club.[15] He signed a three-year professional contract as soon as he turned 17, in March 2011.[16]

2011–12 season

On his return from the U-17 World Cup, Redmond started Birmingham's first pre-season friendly match, a 1–0 defeat of Cork City. New manager Chris Hughton suggested he had done well, given his youth: "In particular I thought Nathan Redmond did very well. We have to remember he's only 17 years of age. He showed some good touches although the final bit let him down a little."[17] In the absence of fellow midfielders Keith Fahey, Morgaro Gomis and Jordon Mutch, Redmond played the whole of the Europa League play-off round first leg against Portuguese club Nacional, the first time he had completed 90 minutes in a senior match and the first time his club had participated in major European competition for nearly 50 years. His driven shot from outside the penalty area was pushed aside by goalkeeper Elisson and led to Chris Wood heading against the crossbar.[18] He made his League debut three days later, again playing the whole match, in a 3–1 defeat at Middlesbrough.[19] In the second leg against Nacional, Redmond opened the scoring with a low drive from 20 yards (18 m) and later hit the post with a curled shot in a man-of-the-match performance as Birmingham won 3–0 to progress to the group stage.[20]

International career

Redmond first played for the England under-16 team on 15 October 2009. He was involved in the build-up for the only goal of the game, as England under-16 beat their Wales counterparts in their opening game of the 2009 Victory Shield, a tournament which they went on to win.[21][22] In 2010, he played in all four games, and scored his first international goal, as the under-16s reached the final of the Montaigu Tournament.[23]

He made his debut for England under-17s on 3 August 2010 in the Nordic Tournament in a 5–0 win against Finland under-17s,[24] and scored the opening goal against Denmark under-17s,[25] as England went on to defeat Sweden under-17s in the final.[26] Redmond was part of the England under-17 squad that qualified for the 2011 European under-17 championships. Needing to beat Spain to finish top of their elite round group, Redmond opened the scoring from a Raheem Sterling cross as England went on to win 2–1.[27] In the final stages, he started the first two group games, a draw with France and a defeat against Denmark,[28][29] and was a substitute in the remaining group game, a 3–0 victory against Serbia which took England through to the semifinal and confirmed their qualification for the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[30] Redmond was a second-half substitute in the semifinal match, which England lost to the Netherlands.[31]
