After scoring 53 goals for Godmanchester, including 34 in the league,[2] in his only season at the club, Meechan was handed another opportunity at a higher level and went on to score 21 for St Neots Town.

His prolific form saw him attract interest from Football League clubs and he was signed by

On 2 August 2016, Meechan joined

He made his debut for the club on the opening day of the 2016–17 season, coming on as a substitute in place of Jake Mawford during a 3–1 victory over Whitehawk.[7] On 23 February 2017 Meechan joined Hungerford Town on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season.[8]
