Having retired after the Paris 2024 Paralympics, Neil returned to the track to compete at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, winning gold in the Men's Tandem B 1000m Time Trial with Aaron Pope to become Team Scotland's most successful athlete of all-time with six gold and one silver. The pair then added another gold in the Tandem B Sprint, despite a crash that saw the deciding race restarted.

Neil won gold in both Time Trial and Sprint at Gold Coast 2018 with pilot Matt Rotherham, setting World and Games records in Sprint qualifying and a Games record in the Time Trial. It completed made it a 'double double', having also won gold in both events at Glasgow 2014 with pilot Craig MacLean.

Neil is a nineteen-time World champion, four-time Paralympic Games medallist and, with pilot Pete Mitchell, became the first tandem pair ever to break the one minute mark in the 1km Time Trial.

Before taking to Cycling, Neil competed in Para-Athletics and competed at the 2008 Paralympic Games over 100m and 200m.
