Early life
Neill was born on 10 March 1996, in Glasgow. He joined the Motherwell youth academy at a young age.
Motherwell
Neill was at Motherwell for eight 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. He made his debut for Ayr on 10 January 2015, in a 2–1 defeat away at Brechin City. He scored his first goal for the club one week later in a 1–1 draw with Greenock Morton.
Livingston
After a successful trial, playing in friendly matches against Dunfermline Athletic and Real Sociedad, Livingston boss Mark Burchill handed Neill a one-year deal. He made his full debut for Livingston against Hibernian in a 1–0 loss.
In an effort to continue his development, Livingston allowed Neill on 12 January 2017, to move on loan to fellow Scottish League One side Stranraer for the duration of the 2016–17 season.
