Megan Sneddon (born 9 September 1985) is a Scottish female footballer who plays for Motherwell Ladies in the SWFL Div 2 SE/West. Sneddon made her senior Scotland debut aged 16 and has since amassed over 100 appearances for the national team.

Club career

In February 2011, Sneddon was called into Scotland's Cyprus Cup squad, listed as a Liverpool Ladies player.[2] She had decided to leave Glasgow City after growing dissatisfied with the club.[3] Sneddon made her debut for the FA WSL club in a friendly win over Hibernian Ladies.[4]

However, on the eve of the English season Sneddon signed for Celtic Ladies. She cited personal reasons and the advice of Scotland coach Anna Signeul for the decision.[5]

Sneddon signed for Rangers Ladies in January 2013.[6]

On 19 August 2015, Megan followed in the footsteps of several of her former Scotland teammates by signing for ambitious Motherwell Ladies.[7] She said of her signing: "I am delighted that Motherwell have given me the chance to kick start my career. I’m looking forward to getting back on the pitch as I’ve hardly kicked a ball since November. It will also be great to play alongside some familiar faces as well."

International career

Sneddon was picked for the Scotland U23 women's squad to play at the Nordic Tournament in August 2008.[8] Sneddon captained the team at the tournament.[9][10]

Sneddon made her senior debut the day before her 17th birthday, in an 8–2 defeat to the United States in Columbus, Ohio.[11]

In December 2011 Sneddon was one of four Celtic women's team players to be approached about playing for Team GB at the 2012 Olympics.[12]
