Necevski signed for Sydney in 2007 as a reserve behind Clint Bolton, [citenews|url=http://www.theworldgame.com.au/home/index.php?pid=st&cid=90748 |title=Sydney grab Necevski |publisher=The World Game (SBS) |date=2007-06-25 |accessdate=2007-12-10] and an ankle injury suffered in training kept him away from duties for the first three months of the season. He made his debut for Sydney on 27 November 2007 in an exhibition match against Los Angeles Galaxy, playing the second half.

Necevski was the first choice keeper for Sydney at the Pan-Pacific Championship 2008, due to main keeper Clint Bolton resting a small injury sustained against Queensland Roar the week before. He played both of Sydney's matches, first against Houston Dynamo where Sydney went down in a crushing 3-0 loss, and against LA Galaxy where his mistake on a simple cross from David Beckham led to Galaxy's second goal in a 2-1 loss.
