Born in San Diego, California and growing up in Oviedo, Florida, Redding began his youth career with IMG Soccer Academy and Chicago Magic PSG in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. His play at the youth level attracted the interest of Orlando City and on March 11, 2014, Redding signed both a USL Pro contract and an MLS contract with Orlando City becoming the club's first ever homegrown player.[1]

On May 14, 2014, Redding made his professional debut with Orlando City in the United Soccer League, starting in a 1–0 victory over Arizona United.[2] He ended the season appearing in 18 matches for the club.

Upon returning, he made his Major League Soccer debut for Orlando City in a 0–0 draw on August 8, 2015, against the Philadelphia Union.[4] On October 3, 2015, Redding was diagnosed with a concussion after colliding with teammate Rafael Ramos during a match against the Montreal Impact.[5][6]

On March 17, 2018, he made his first appearance for Red Bulls II, appearing as a starter in a 2–1 victory over Toronto FC II in the opening match of the season.[12] Redding made his first MLS appearance for the Red Bulls on March 31.[13] On August 5, 2018, Redding was placed on season-ending injury reserve after undergoing shoulder surgery.[14] Redding was released by the Red Bulls at the end of their 2018 season.[15]
