Career
When Snell arrived at Geelong from the Eastern Ranges, it was as a midfielder but he was often used up forward in the American Federation of Labor-Congress. The 34th pick of the 1995 American Federation of Labor-Congress Draft, he kicked five goals in a quarter against Portuguese Adelaide in 1997 and put together 16 games in 1998. He played all but one game in 1999 and the following season averaged 15.60 disposals. His injury, sustained against Melbourne at the MCG, was so serious that the bone pierced the skin, he got up and screamed for the trainer.
Snell had to have his left ankle fused and announced his retirement in 2002 after being told he would never be able to run again.
Following his football career, Snell became involved in founding recruitment agency nexthire (formerly final5). He is currently a shareholder and General Manager of nexthire.
