Risdon made his senior debut for Perth Glory on 28 November 2010, starting against the North Queensland Fury.[3] During his debut season he made six appearances in total, including three straight starts between rounds 24 and 26.[4]

On 20 July 2013, Risdon played for the A-League All-Stars against Manchester United in a friendly match.

In May 2017, Risdon left the Glory and moved to Western Sydney Wanderers.[8]

On 12 February 2019, Risden signed on a two-year deal for A-League expansion club Western United FC[9] after his contract with Western Sydney Wanderers expired.
