Redenbach was a blond haired half forward-flanker who arrived to North Melbourne from Bairnsdale.

He won the Gardiner Medal in 1970, on a count-back, from Melbourne's Paul Callery.[1]

At the end of the 1973 VFL season, Redenbach was one of the players traded to the Perth Football Club, so that North Melbourne could secure three time Sandover Medal winner Barry Cable.[2]
