Born in Edinburgh, Sneddon began his career as a youth with local side Heart of Midlothian. After spending seven years in development at Tynecastle, Sneddon joined Fife’s Scottish League Two side Cowdenbeath and made over thirty appearances for the club.

A highly rated youth player, Sneddon played on trial with Hibernian in 2017,[1] however he signed for (then) Scottish Premiership club Partick Thistle on 15 June 2017.[2] Sneddon found himself third-choice keeper at Thistle behind Tomáš Černý and Ryan Scully. A poor season led to Thistle being relegated from the Premiership, which led to Černy and Scully departing the club.

For the 2018–19 Scottish Championship, Sneddon was promoted to back-up goalkeeper to Cammy Bell, and was first choice when Bell was injured during the season.

Sneddon signed a 1 year contract extension at Thistle for the 2019/20 season.[3] Sneddon also received the number 1 jersey, changing from 23.[4]
