Marc Sneyd (born (1991-02-09)9 February 1991) is a professional rugby league footballer who plays as a scrum-half for Salford Red Devils in the Betfred Super League.[4]

He made over 160 Super League appearances for Hull F.C., and also previously spent a season on loan from Salford at the Castleford Tigers (Heritage № 942) in the Super League. He played as a stand-off and fullback earlier in his career.

Background[]

Sneyd was born in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England, and grew up in Shaw.[5]

Club career[]

Salford[]

He came through the junior ranks at Salford.[6] He made his début for Salford in 2010 but his game time was limited.[7] In May 2013, he signed a new two-year contract with Salford.[8]

Castleford[]

Sneyd joined Castleford Tigers on loan for the 2014 season.[9] Castleford coach Daryl Powell described him as "...a quality player with the added benefit of an outstanding left-foot kicking game.”[9] 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.[10][11]

Hull F.C.[]

A transfer request in June 2014 was turned down by Salford,[12] but soon after, Sneyd signed a three-year contract with Hull F.C.[7][13] 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."[7]

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.[14][15]

In February 2017, he extended his contract with Hull until 2019.[16] He won the 2017 Challenge Cup with Hull in an 18-14 victory over the record holders Wigan Warriors,[17] 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.[18][19]

In April 2019, Sneyd signed a new three-year contract until the end of the 2022 season.[20][5]

In April 2021, Sneyd overtook Michael Dobson in 9th position for the most conversions and penalty goals in Super League history.

Salford[]

On 5 November 2021, Sneyd signed a three-year deal to join Salford beginning in the 2022 season.[21]

International Career[]

In October 2013, he was named in the Ireland squad for the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.[22] However, despite being eligible through lineage, he was ruled ineligible after failing to complete the paperwork in time to register for the 2013 tournament.[23]
