He has had spells as caretaker manager ofHalifax TownandYork Cityand as manager ofScarborough,Northwich VictoriaandLeeds United.

Playing career

edit

Born inDewsbury,West Riding of Yorkshire,Redfearn began his career atBolton Wandererson 23 June 1982, having previously been on the books ofNottingham Forest'syouth team.[1]He later made his name as goalscoring midfielder at lower-division sidesLincoln CityandDoncaster Rovers.In May 1985, 56 spectators were killed in astadium firewhile he was playing for Lincoln against Bradford City. In 1987, he was signed byCrystal Palacefor £100,000, and he later played forWatford,before moving again in 1989 toOldham Athletic.

Redfearn's last season with Oldham constituted a career highlight as he was an ever-present in the team that won theSecond Divisiontitle and returned the Latics to the top-flight of English football after a gap of 68 years. Redfearn converted the injury timepenalty kickin the final game of the season againstSheffield Wednesdaythat completed a 3–2 victory (after Oldham had trailed 2–0), and snatched the championship fromWest Ham United,who had prematurely been handed the trophy some 15 minutes earlier. Despite his contribution to Oldham's promotion, he became surplus to requirements with the re-signing of former club captainMike MilliganfromEvertonin the off-season and Redfearn was transferred without playing for Oldham in the top flight.

In September 1991, Redfearn joinedBarnsley,and it was at this club he arguably spent his prime years. In his seven seasons at Oakwell, he rarely missed a single game, and was named club captain and penalty taker. In the1996–97season, Redfearn scored 17 goals as Barnsley won promotion to theFA Premier Leaguefor the first time in the club's history. Redfearn missed only one game, and was Barnsley's top scorer with ten league goals in the1997–98season. These included Barnsley's first ever top division goal on the opening day of the season, when he put them ahead in the ninth minute at home toWest Ham United,although they ended up losing the game 2–1.[2]

It was not enough to save them though, as Barnsley were relegated that season. However, despite being in his thirties, Redfearn's performances had made him a wanted man in the Premier League, and he was signed byCharlton Athleticfor £1 million in the summer of 1998. He left Barnsley having played 338 first team games, scoring 83 goals.

In the1998–99season, his family did not settle in London, and at the end of the season, Redfearn jumped at the chance of returning to his nativeYorkshire,whenBradford Citypaid £250,000 for his services. Redfearn did not make much impact at Bradford, scoring just once againstLeicester City,[3]and joined his 10th team,Wigan Athleticafter just nine months in Bradford. Despite a very good goalscoring record, Redfearn never became first-choice at Wigan either, and he dropped down two divisions to joinHalifax Townin 2001.

Redfearn spent the better part of two years at Boston, before finishing his Football League career atRochdalein the spring of 2004.[9]Rochdale did not offer him a new contract at the end of the season,[10]meaning he finished his Football League career with 790 appearances and so being fifth in the all-time list of most Football League appearances.[11]His last league appearance for Rochdale took his total to. after which Redfearn dropped down to theConference,where he became player-coach atScarborough,managed at the time by his former Oldham teammateNick Henry.He signed a new contract with Scarborough in April 2005.[12]When Henry was dismissed on 24 October 2005 Redfearn was named caretaker manager,[13]before being appointed permanently on 1 November while remaining registered as a player.[14][15]Redfearn resigned on 6 July 2006 afterMark Pattersonwas brought in as assistant manager.[16]He subsequently signed withNorthern Premier LeagueFirst DivisionsideBradford Park Avenuelater that month.[17]He made his 1,000th competitive appearance on 4 November 2006, when Bradford Park Avenue facedSolihull Boroughin the second qualifying round of theFA Trophy.[18]

Coaching and managerial career

edit

Leeds United

edit

Redfearn left York over a month later after being appointed coach of the under-18 academy team atLeeds Unitedon 30 December 2008 and he assumed this role on 1 January 2009.[31][32]He took over as manager of the Leedsreserve teamin December 2010 following the dismissal ofNeil Thompson.[33]He was appointedcaretaker managerat Leeds following the dismissal of managerSimon Graysonon 1 February 2012.[34]Three days later he won his first match in charge by beating Bristol City 3–0. It was later confirmed by club chairmanKen Batesthat Redfearn would retain the managerial post for the following three games.[35]After two wins and two defeats in his four-game spell as manager, Redfearn was replaced as manager byNeil Warnockas permanent manager on 18 February 2012.[36]In April 2012, Redfearn guided Leeds' Under 18's side to a second-place finish in the Under-18s League, narrowly missing out on top spot to Newcastle's Under-18s team.[37]

Following the departure of Neil Warnock on 1 April 2013,[38]Redfearn again took charge of the first team for the game at for the 2–1 away defeat againstCharlton Athleticon 6 April.[39]

Redfearn's spell as the Head of academy was praised due to the influx of Leeds academy players breaking through into the first team such asDominic Poleon,Chris Dawson,Sam Byram,Alex Mowatt,Lewis CookandKalvin Phillips.[citation needed]

On 28 August 2014, Redfearn was appointed caretaker head coach after head coachDave Hockadayand his assistantJunior Lewiswere dismissed by ownerMassimo Cellino,having been in the job for only 70 days. This was the third time Redfearn had been appointed as a caretaker manager/head coach of Leeds.[40][41]Redfearn picked up a victory in his first game back in charge with a 1–0 win on 30 August against Bolton Wanderers.[42]On 20 September, Redfearn's Leeds picked up a 3–0 win over local rivalsHuddersfield Town.[43]After recording a record of three wins and one draw in his latest stint as caretaker, Leeds announced that Redfearn would be stepping back down into a role described as "Academy manager and head of coaching."[44]withDarko Milaničappointed the new head coach of Leeds on a two-year deal replacing previous head coachDave Hockaday,he was joined at Leeds by hisSK Sturm GrazAssistantNovica Nikčević.[45]

On 25 October 2014, Milanič was dismissed by the club after only 32 days in charge. Cellino confirmed that Redfearn would be appointed as Leeds' new head coach.[46][47]On 27 October 2014 Redfearn confirmed that he verbally agreed to become head coach of Leeds after receiving reassurances that if it does not work out, he will revert to his previous job back in the academy.[48][49]On 1 November 2014, Redfearn was confirmed as the club's new head coach, on an initial 12-month contract with the option of a further 12 months, the contract also had a clause that would see Redfearn return to the academy if he was to leave his role as head coach.[50]On 18 December 2014,Steve Thompsonwas hired as Redfearn's new assistant manager.[citation needed]

On 2 April 2015, Redfearn's assistantSteve Thompsonwas suspended by Leeds for an 'internal matter' by Leeds Sporting DirectorNicola Salerno,with Redfearn saying that he was kept in the dark about the cause.[51]

Also on 2 April 2015, a story emerged that Redfearn had been put under pressure to 'not select' top scorerMirco Antenucci,because Antenucci's contract featured a clause of an extra year on his contract, should he score 12 goals in his first season. Antenucci's agent Silvio Pagliari confirmed the clause was correct.[52]Despite this, Redfearn started Antenucci, with Antenucci making a relatively rare start againstWolverhampton Wandererson 6 April in a 4–3 defeat.[53]On 24 June 2015, former Sporting DirectorNicola Salernoproclaimed the decision to not play Antenucci prior was Redfearn's decision.[54]

On 9 April, after rumoured Premier League interest inAlex Mowattand teammatesLewis Cook,Charlie TaylorandSam Byram,Redfearn challenged Leeds United's owners to keep a hold of their home grown talents.[55]

On 18 April 2015, six of ownerMassimo Cellino's signings (Mirco Antenucci,Giuseppe Bellusci,Souleymane Doukara,Dario Del Fabro,Marco SilvestriandEdgar Cani) controversially pulled out of the squad with an 'injury' the day before a 2–1 loss againstCharlton Athletic.[56]

On 14 May 2015, Cellino gave a press conference announcingAdam Pearsonas the club's executive director to work directly alongside Cellino. The press conference included Cellino leaving halfway through for a cigarette break only to return, and for the press conference to run for over an hour, with Cellino refusing to reveal the future of Redfearn.[57]

On 16 May, with speculation increasing about his future as Leeds United Head Coach, Cellino in an interview with theSunday Mirrorsaid that Redfearn was "weak" and "a baby".[58]

On 20 May 2015, Leeds announcedUwe Rösleras the new head coach, ending Redfearn's leadership at the club, with no announcement made of Redfearn's departure as head coach.
