Marc Sneyd (born 9 February 1991) is an English professional rugby league footballer who plays as a scrum-half for Warrington Wolves in the Super League and England at international level. [4]
He made over 160 Super League appearances for Hull F.C., where he won two Challenge Cup finals, and also previously spent a season on loan from Salford at the Castleford Tigers in the Super League. He played as a stand-off and fullback earlier in his career.
Sneyd was born in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England, and grew up in Shaw. [5] He played junior rugby league for Waterhead Warriors. [6]
He came through the junior ranks at Salford. [7] He made his début for Salford in 2010 but his game time was limited. [8] In May 2013, he signed a new two-year contract with Salford. [9]
Sneyd joined Castleford Tigers on loan for the 2014 season. [10] Castleford coach Daryl Powell described him as "...a quality player with the added benefit of an outstanding left-foot kicking game.” [10] This was Sneyd's breakthrough season in which he scored 7 tries and kicked 117 goals in just 31 appearances, and appeared in the 2014 Challenge Cup Final defeat by the Leeds Rhinos at Wembley Stadium. [11] [12]
A transfer request in June 2014 was turned down by Salford, [13] but soon after, Sneyd signed a three-year contract with Hull F.C. [8] [14] Hull coach Lee Radford said he "...has a superb left-foot kicking game and a fantastic touch on the ball, which we think will give him the opportunity to blossom into a really good young British half-back." [8]
In 2016, Sneyd kicked 130 goals and became the league's top goal-kicker. He won the 2016 Challenge Cup with Hull against the Warrington Wolves, kicking two goals in the narrow 12-10 win at Wembley Stadium; Sneyd was made man-of-the-match and won the prestigious Lance Todd Trophy. [15] [16]
In February 2017, he extended his contract with Hull until 2019. [17] He won the 2017 Challenge Cup with Hull in an 18-14 victory over the record holders Wigan Warriors, [18] and once again he was named the Lance Todd Trophy winner becoming only the second player to win the award two years in a row. [19] [20]
In February 2019, Sneyd scored the first ever golden point in Super League with a drop goal in a 23–22 win against Wigan Warriors. [21] In April 2019, he signed a new three-year contract until the end of the 2022 season. [22] [5]
In April 2021, Sneyd overtook Michael Dobson in 9th position for the most conversions and penalty goals in Super League history.
On 5 November 2021, Sneyd signed a three-year deal to join Salford beginning in the 2022 season. [23] In round 3 of the 2022 Super League season, Sneyd was sent to the sin bin in his return game against Hull F.C. which ended in a 48-16 loss at the MKM Stadium. [24] In round 26 of the 2022 Super League season, Sneyd scored two tries and kicked nine goals in Salford's 50-10 victory over Castleford. [25] In round 5 of the 2023 Super League season, Sneyd kicked the winning drop goal in Salford's golden point extra-time victory over Wakefield Trinity. [26] In the 2023 Super League season, Sneyd played 19 games for Salford as the club finished 7th on the table and missed the playoffs. [27]
On 13 March 2025, Sneyd joined Warrington on an immediate eighteen-month deal. [28]
In October 2013, he was named in the Ireland squad for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup. [29] However, despite being eligible through lineage, he was ruled ineligible after failing to complete the paperwork in time to register for the tournament. [30] Sneyd made his England debut in the 2021 Rugby League World Cup match against France in Bolton on 22 October 2022, kicking seven goals in England's 42-18 victory. [31] In the third group stage match, Sneyd scored a try and kicked 13 goals in England's 94-4 victory over Greece in Sheffield. [32]
