Finlay Giuseppe Neat (born 8 February 2006) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a foward for Allsvenskan club IK Sirius.[1]

Neat began his career with Aberdeen F.C., but joined the academy of Malmö FF when his family moved to Sweden after his father received a marine biology professorship at the World Maritime University in Malmö. With Malmö FF's under-19s Neat proved a prolific goalscorer in the first half of 2025, with 8 goals in 7 U19 League Cup appearances, and 9 goals scored in 11 P19 Allsvenskan appearances. In a game against Kalmar FF's under-19s he scored a hat-trick within 7 minutes. He ultimately became joint top scorer of P19 Allsvenskan, and was awarded Forward of the Year.[2][3]

On 24 June 2025, Neat signed for IK Sirius, being reunited with assistant coach Max Westerberg, his former coach with the Malmö FF under-19s.[4] A few weeks later, on 15 July 2025, he made his professional debut as an 81st minute substitute in a 1–2 loss against Mjällby AIF.[5]

Personal life

Neat was born in Scotland to a Scottish marine biologist father and an Italian mother.[6] When rehabbing an injury, he also worked as a coach for Malmö FF's youth team born 2012.[7]
