Career

[edit | edit source]

Motherwell

[edit | edit source]

Neill was at Motherwell for 10 years, but couldn't force his way into the first team. He played with the development squad, and played as a defender.

Having been named on the substitutes bench for Motherwell on a number of occasions during the 2014–15 season, Neill signed for Ayr United on loan on 9 January 2015, with Motherwell manager Ian Baraclough saying he needed to play first-team football.[1] He made his debut for Ayr on 10 January 2015, in a 2–1 defeat away at Brechin City.[2] He scored his first goal for the club one week later in a 1–1 draw with Greenock Morton.[3]

Livingston

[edit | edit source]

After a successful trial, playing in friendly matches against Dunfermline Athletic and Real Sociedad, Livingston boss Mark Burchill handed Neill a two-year deal.[4][5] He made his full debut for Livingston against Hibernian in a 1–0 loss.[6]

Stranraer

[edit | edit source]

In an effort to continue his development, Livingston allowed Neill on to move on loan to fellow Scottish League One side Stranraer for the remainder of the 2016–17 season.[7] After returning from his loan spell Neill was released by Livingston in May 2017,[8] subsequently signing a permanent contract with Stranraer where he went on to be a key player making 59 appearances in a season and a half.[9]

He extended his deal with the Sons until the summer of 2021 in July 2020.[12] Neill left the Sons in May 2021, turning down a new deal after the departure of manager Jim Duffy.[13]

Cove Rangers

[edit | edit source]

Neill signed for Cove Rangers on 4 June 2021[14] after his release from Dumbarton and scored his first goal for the club in a 1-0 win over Airdrieonians.[15] Neill would be later win the title that campaign with Cove Rangers, starting in a 1-0 victory over his former club Dumbarton. [16] The next campaign the success would not continue for Morgyn and Cove, as they finished bottom of the Scottish Championship.
