Neil Sorvel (born 2 March 1973 in Whiston) is an English footballer who currently plays for English League Two club Shrewsbury Town. He is a midfielder and wears the number 6 shirt for the club.
He began his league career at Macclesfield Town, where he spent six years. In this period Macclesfield finished first in the Football Conference in 1995, but were denied promotion due to their stadium, which did not meet league standards. Promotions did come in 1997 and in 1998, as Macclesfield climbed to tier 3 of English football. Relegation down to Division Three followed in 1999. Sorvel left on a free transfer in July 1999, having become a regular for the club over six seasons.
Six seasons at Division One (subsequently named the Championship) Crewe Alexandra followed, where he played almost every game.
Dropping down two levels to join Shrewsbury Town on a free transfer, he made his début for the club on 6 August 2005 in a 1-0 defeat at home to Rochdale. He has been a first-team regular for Shrewsbury since he joined the club.
