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 level of competition in Scotland.[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]

International career

Sneddon made her senior debut the day before her 17th birthday, in an 8–2 defeat to the United States in Columbus, Ohio.[6]

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.[7]
