He was an employee of the Western Australian Bank while living in Kalgoorlie, which meant he had to run under the assumed name "Alf Hall".He returned to Victoria in 1901 and played seven games for Melbourne in the Victorian Football League during that season.
In 1902, he won the Stawell Gift, Australia's most prestigious running race.
Tredinnick died after a short illness in 1910; his obituary remembered him as "one of the best footballers and athletes in the Castlemaine district".
