Born at Boughton Monchelsea in Kent, where he was baptised in August 1753, Remington was the oldest of three sons of Samuel and Susanna Remington who played cricket.[1] He made his first-class debut for an England XI against Hampshire at Alfresford in June 1779.[2] In August of that year he appeared for Kent against Surrey at Laleham Burway.[2] In 1780, he appeared in two first-class matches for Sir Horatio Mann's personal XI against the Duke of Dorset's XI at Bishopsbourne.[2] In that same year he appeared twice for England against Hampshire, before making six first-class appearances in 1881, including for East Kent against West Kent.[2] His next first-class appearance came two years later in 1883 for East Kent against West Kent at Sevenoaks.[2] Across thirteen first-class matches, Remington scored 323 runs, with a high score of 62.[3]
His brothers, Michael and Thomas, also played first-class cricket for Kent sides. Their surname has sometimes been spelled "Rimmington".[1]
