Salford Red Devils
Having come through the club's junior ranks, Sneyd made his debut for Salford in 2010, playing 6 games. He featured more regularly in 2011, playing 12 games, scoring 1 try and kicking a goal. However, due to a strong halfback combination in 2012 his gametime was limited and he only played 5 times. He did score 2 tries and kick 14 goals for a total of 36 points.
Due to an injury to Theo Fages, Sneyd got a chance at halfback against Leeds, he performed well and kicked a goal. He backed this up with a match winning try and 5 goals against Hull Kingston Rovers. Sneyd kicked 11 goals and scored a try as Salford beat Gloucestershire All Golds. He also kicked 5 goals in the win against Castleford, marking Brian Noble's 1st game in charge of the Reds.
