Club career
Dundee United
Neilson joined Dundee United at the age of 10 and signed his first professional contract with the club in the summer of 2019, before extending the contract until 2022 the following March.[2] After graduating from the club's academy,[2] he made his professional debut in a 1–1 draw against St Johnstone on the opening day of the 2020–21 Scottish Premiership season.[3] Neilson was loaned to Falkirk in March 2021.[4]
Following his return from loan, Neilson sustained an ankle injury, for which he required surgery. He did not appear in the United first team again until December 2021 when he started against Hibernian.[5] Neilson departed United in June 2022 after turning down a new contract offer.[6]
Hearts
After leaving Dundee United, Neilson signed a three-year contract with Hearts.[7][8] In his first season with Hearts, he made 16 first-team appearances. But he did not feature in the final months and spent time involved with the club's B team.[9]
On 3 August 2023, Neilson joined Scottish Championship club Partick Thistle on a season-long loan.[10]
International career
Neilson has represented Scotland at under-16 and under-17 level.[11]
In September 2022, Neilson was called up to the Scotland under-21 for friendlies against Northern Ireland under-21.[12]
