'''Daniel James Redfern''' (born 18 April 1990) is an English cricketer born at Shrewsbury, Shropshire. He is one of the youngest players ever to play List A limited overs cricket. He made his debut for Derbyshire Phantoms in a NatWest Pro40 League match against Worcestershire Royals at New Road, Worcester on 3 September 2006, aged 16 years and 138 days. He is a left-handed batsman and an off-spin bowler and has played 11 times for England Under-19s. He attended Haberdashers' Adams, in Newport, Shropshire.
A product of Derbyshire's Academy, he signed his first professional contract in July 2008, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2010 season.<ref>[https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/counties/derbyshire/7513136.stm Redfern nets first pro Derby deal], BBC Sport, Retrieved 21 September 2009</ref>
Following this, he scored his maiden One Day half-century in a tied Pro40 match against Yorkshire, hitting 57 not out but as Derbyshire narrowly missed out on a win. In August, he made his first Championship start of the year, in a high-scoring draw against Warwickshire, where he scored 11 runs and took one for seven in Warwickshire's second innings.
On 5 April 2012, Redfern hit his maiden first-class century in a 160 partnership for the sixth wicket. After being put in at 50/4, Redfern hit 110 in 143 balls, spending the best part of three hours at the crease.<ref>Redfern hits maiden ton - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/17614111</ref>

On 24 February 2014, Redfern joined Leicestershire on a two-year contract,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2014/content/story/722427.html |title=Redfern joins Leicestershire |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |date=24 February 2014 |accessdate=2 April 2015 }}</ref> but it was not renewed, and he was released from the club in late 2015.
