Playing career

McNeight first made the New Zealand side in 1936, while playing for the West Coast.[2] He played in two test matches for New Zealand that year and also played for the South Island.[1][3]

By 1938 McNeight had moved to Auckland, joining the Newton Rangers club. He captained New Zealand on their 1938 tour of Australia, however no test matches were played on tour.[4]
