Morgyn Neill (born 10 March 1996) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a defender for Stenhousemuir. He has previously played for Motherwell and Livingston, as well as Ayr United and Stranraer on loan.

Early life

Neill was born on 10 March 1996, in Glasgow. He joined the Motherwell youth academy at a young age.

Career

Motherwell

Neill was at Motherwell for 10 years, but couldn't force his way into the first team. He played with the development squad, and played as a defender.

Having been named on the substitutes bench for Motherwell on a number of occasions during the 2014–15 season, Neill signed for Ayr United on loan on 9 January 2015, with Motherwell manager Ian Baraclough saying he needed to play first-team football.[1] He made his debut for Ayr on 10 January 2015, in a 2–1 defeat away at Brechin City.[2] He scored his first goal for the club one week later in a 1–1 draw with Greenock Morton.[3]

Livingston

After a successful trial, playing in friendly matches against Dunfermline Athletic and Real Sociedad, Livingston boss Mark Burchill handed Neill a two year deal.[4][5] He made his full debut for Livingston against Hibernian in a 1–0 loss.[6]

Stranraer

In an effort to continue his development, Livingston allowed Neill on 12 January 2017 after making 40 appearances both championship and league 1 , to move on loan to fellow Scottish League One side Stranraer for the duration of the 2016–17 season.[7] After returning from his loan spell, Neill was released by Livingston in May 2017,[8] subsequently signing a permanent contract with Stranraer going on to being a key player making 59 appearances in a season and a half .[9]

Stenhousemuir

Neill left Stranraer after a season, joining Scottish League One rivals Stenhousemuir in May 2018[10].
