Neville said, "The program I was in at the AIS when I left school in 2006, the goal of that was to produce a single sculler for London."
In 2008, Neville played junior rugby league for the Narraweena Hawks, in the Manly Warringah A Grade competition.

Neville made his Melbourne Rebels debut during the 2012 Super Rugby season against the Bulls at AAMI Park, Melbourne. Neville started the game before being replaced by Al Campbell in the 45th minute in a 35–41 loss for the home side.
