Liam Rhys Reddy (born 8 August 1981) is an Australian professional football player who plays as a goalkeeper for NPL WA club Perth RedStar FC.

Early life
Reddy comes from a successful sports family. His father is former Australian rugby league international and St George Dragons forward Rod Reddy, and he is the brother of rugby league player Joel Reddy and Adelaide Thunderbirds netball goalkeeper Bianca Reddy.

Club career
Reddy played for the Newcastle Jets in the inaugural A-League season. He left Newcastle after falling out with the coach Nick Theo. Reddy's father Rod Reddy had previously engaged in physical altercation with Theo, while Liam was playing for Parramatta Power. Reddy signed a two-year deal with the Brisbane Roar at the commencement of the 2006/07 season. He played his junior career with the North Sutherland Rockets until the under twelves, when he was scouted by Sydney United

Wellington Phoenix
Brisbane Roar reported in December 2009 that Reddy would be released at the end of the season at his own request. This was subsequently brought forward to an immediate release and Reddy signed with the Wellington Phoenix for the remainder of the season as injury cover for the Phoenix's All White's goalkeeper Mark Paston. Reddy's debut for the Phoenix was an away fixture against Adelaide United which ended as a draw. Reddy's second game was against Central Coast Mariners where he kept his first clean sheet for the Phoenix.

Reddy went on to play in the next two home fixtures for the Phoenix and he played a pivotal role in winning both of the matches. Reddy was named 'Player of the Day' for his contributions in the Phoenix's 3–0 win against North Queensland Fury. Reddy helped the Phoenix get back on track with their play-off hopes with his third clean sheet in Wellington colours against Adelaide United. This clean sheet was much needed for the Phoenix having conceded six goals in the previous two matches against Melbourne Victory and Perth Glory.

Reddy currently holds the Wellington Phoenix record for most consecutive clean sheets after he kept three clean sheets against Adelaide United, Gold Coast United and Central Coast Mariners. The Phoenix won all three of those matches and secured an historic play-off against Perth Glory. In that play-off, the game finished 1–1 with Chris Greenacre grabbing a goal. In the penalty shoot-out, Reddy made two brilliant saves and sent the Phoenix to a home semifinal against Newcastle Jets. Even thoug
