Club career

Salford Red Devils

Having come through the club's junior ranks, Sneyd made his debut for Salford in 2010, playing 6 games. He featured more regularly in 2011, playing 12 games, scoring 1 try and kicking a goal. However, due to a strong halfback combination in 2012 his gametime was limited and he only played 5 times. He did score 2 tries and kick 14 goals for a total of 36 points.

Due to an injury to Theo Fages, Sneyd got a chance at halfback against Leeds, he performed well and kicked a goal. He backed this up with a match winning try and 5 goals against Hull Kingston Rovers. Sneyd kicked 11 goals and scored a try as Salford beat Gloucestershire All Golds. He also kicked 5 goals in the win against Castleford, marking Brian Noble's 1st game in charge of the Reds.

Castleford Tigers

Sneyd spent the 2014 season on a season loan at Castleford and appeared in the 2014 Challenge Cup final. This was Sneyd's breakthrough season in which he scored 7 tries and kicked 117 goals in just 31 appearances.

Hull F.C.

At the end of the 2014 season, Sneyd joined Hull for a reported 6-figure transfer fee and has since become the team's regular goal-kicker and Stand-off half[3]

In 2016, Sneyd kicked 130 goals and became the league's top goal-kicker. He also won the 2016 Challenge Cup against Warrington Wolves, kicking 2 goals in the narrow 12-10 win. Sneyd was made man-of-the-match and won the prestigious Lance Todd Trophy as a result, only the 2nd Hull player to do so.
