Redmond’s career started at Birmingham before spells with Norwich, Saints and Turkish giants Besiktas.

He earned one England cap in 2017 and played 276 games in the Premier League, the majority of those with Saints.

Redmond turned out 232 times for Saints before leaving St Mary’s to join Besiktas on a free transfer in September 2022 – the season in which they were relegated.

He scored 30 goals and notched 27 assists across a six-year stint on the south coast. He played seven times during his short spell at Wednesday this season.
