Playing career
[edit]Grimsby Town
[edit]Renwick began his career at Second Division strugglers Grimsby Town in 1962 and departed the club the following year, without making an appearance.[2]
Aldershot
[edit]In July 1963, Renwick dropped down to the Fourth Division to sign for Aldershot.[1] He was a near ever-present for his first five seasons at the club.[3] After making just seven appearances during the 1968–69 season, he departed the Shots in February 1969.[1][3] During his five and a half years at the Recreation Ground, Renwick made 231 appearances and scored four goals.[3]

Stockport County
[edit]Renwick joined Fourth Division strugglers Stockport County in October 1971.[2] He made 32 appearances and scored one goal during his single season at Edgeley Park,[6] in which County finished second-from-bottom and won re-election to the Football League.[1]
Rochdale
[edit]Renwick moved up to the Third Division to sign for Rochdale in July 1972.[1] He made 41 appearances during the 1972–73 season, but fell out of favour in the following campaign and left the club at the end of the 1973–74 season.[1]
