Goalkeeper Andrew Redmayne is set to celebrate a significant milestone as he plays his 300th A-League match tonight. The 37-year-old will mark this achievement with the Central Coast Mariners, the club where he began his professional career in 2008, just a short distance from his birthplace in Gosford.

A Special Occasion

Redmayne expressed his feelings about the milestone, stating, "It's a complete 360 loop really, and a pretty special occasion for me. There aren't many that have made the list, so it's quite humbling." His teammates have joined in the celebration by sporting beards in his honor, a gesture that reflects the camaraderie within the team.

Support from the Club

Danny Vukovic, Redmayne's predecessor at the Mariners and now the club's goalkeeping coach, acknowledged the importance of this milestone for the club. He remarked, "It's pretty iconic now he's had it for quite a few years, it's here to stay, I think, and the boys were all wearing it today, all for Andrew, and we want to celebrate the right way with a win."

Redmayne is fondly remembered for his heroics with the Socceroos, particularly his memorable penalty save in 2022 that helped Australia qualify for the World Cup. Lawrie McKinna, who gave Redmayne his debut, reflected on his impact, saying, "He'll go down in Australian football folklore for making that save."

As Redmayne approaches the 300-game mark, he has had a remarkable career in the A-League, playing for five different clubs and securing four titles along the way. Tonight's match against the Brisbane Roar is crucial for the Mariners as they seek to keep their finals hopes alive.
