Career

Cowdenbeath

Born in Edinburgh, Sneddon began his career as a youth with local side Heart of Midlothian. After spending seven years in development at Tynecastle, Sneddon joined Fife's Scottish League Two side Cowdenbeath and made over thirty appearances for the club.

Partick Thistle

A highly rated youth player, Sneddon played on trial with Hibernian in 2017, [1] however he signed for (then) Scottish Premiership club Partick Thistle on 15 June 2017. [2] Sneddon found himself third-choice keeper at Thistle behind Tomáš Černý and Ryan Scully. A poor season led to Thistle being relegated from the Premiership, which led to Černy and Scully departing the club.

For the 2018–19 Scottish Championship, Sneddon was promoted to back-up goalkeeper to Cammy Bell, and was first choice when Bell was injured during the season.

Sneddon signed a one-year contract extension at Thistle for the 2019/20 season. [3] Sneddon also received the number 1 jersey, changing from 23. [4]

Sneddon signed a further one-year contract with Thistle in December 2019, until May 2021. [5]

After winning the 2020–21 Scottish League One title with Thistle, Sneddon signed a new one year extension to his contract ahead of the Scottish Championship season. [6]

Sneddon broke Thistle's club record for consecutive league clean sheets, after a 1-0 win over Hamilton Academical, his sixth league clean sheet in a row. [7] Sneddon then went onto break another club record of consecutive clean sheets in all competitions, setting a new record of eight consecutive clean sheets in all competitions. [8] Sneddon signed a new one year contract extension in January 2022 to remain at Thistle until the end of the 2022–23 season. [9]

Sneddon scored the first goal of his career, scoring a dramatic late equaliser for Thistle in the 95th minute to secure a 1-1 draw away to Cove Rangers, with a header from a corner. [10]

Following Thistle's Premiership promotion play-off final defeat on penalties to Ross County, Sneddon signed a new one-year deal with the Jags ahead of the 2023–24 Scottish Championship season. [11]

Sneddon left Partick Thistle after seven years with the club, following the conclusion of the 2023–24 season. Over his time at the club Sneddon made 128 appearances, kept 47 clean sheets and scored one goal in all competitions. [12]
