A scrum-half, Redwood played much of his rugby with Bristol and achieved an England call up for the 1968 Five Nations, gaining two caps. On debut against Wales at Twickenham, Redwood scored a try and was considered to have performed well amongst an otherwise poor backline, helping England secure a draw.{{cite news |title=Tudor James Says Redwood Inspires England Avenges |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/808668900 |work=Sunday Mirror |date=21 January 1968}} He made his second appearance in the match against Ireland at Twickenham which also finished in a draw, then lost his place to Roger Pickering.{{cite news |title=Redwood's doubles rejection |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/911504487 |work=Western Daily Press |date=13 February 1968}}
