Career
College and amateur
Meredith attended Monmouth University where he was team captain. During his time at Monmouth, Meredith won awards such as NSCAA/adidas North Atlantic Region First Team, All-Northeast Conference Second Team and 2008 NSCAA/adidas NCAA Division I All-North Atlantic Region Third Team.[2]
During his time at college, Meredith spent the 2010 season with Central Jersey Spartans of the USL Premier Development League.[3]
Professional
On January 14, 2011, Meredith was selected in the second round (29th overall) of the 2011 MLS SuperDraft by Seattle Sounders FC.[4] After a long trial with Seattle, he was released by the club after being beaten to third goalkeeping position by Josh Ford. Meredith signed with USL Premier Development League club Kitsap Pumas where he made 14 league appearances, before being signed again by the Sounders on September 12, 2011 after a season-ending injury to their backup goalkeeper Terry Boss.[5] He made his competitive debut on October 18, 2011 in a 2-1 Sounders loss to Monterrey in the CONCACAF Champions League[6] and his MLS debut as a second half sub for an injured Michael Gspurning in a 2-0 victory over the LA Galaxy. He made his first MLS start three days later with a 1-0 clean sheet against the Philadelphia Union.[7] The Sounders declined to pick up a contract option on Meredith on December 14, 2012.[8]
Swedish team IK Brage signed him to a two-year contract on December 21, 2012.[9]
He was signed to play for the New York Cosmos in their first season in the North American Soccer League[10] but failed to make an appearance.[11] He was then signed by San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer on January 24, 2014.[12]
