After a period of time as an uninvolved substitute for Inverness after his recuperation from a ligament injury to his ankle, Meekings made his debut as a substitute in place of Thomas Piermayr in the 66th minute in a draw with Dunfermline Athletic on 22 October 2011. A week later, on the 5th of November, 2011 he was an ‘assist’ to Gregory Tade to score – making it 3-1 against Kilmarnock and the game ended with Inverness winning the match 6-3. On March 24, 2012 Meekings was given a red card to his first career red card, following another bookable offense in the 1-0 victory over Aberdeen.

Meekings was set to sign a contract in conjunction with Stevenage but the agreement was not able to be completed and, instead, on July 4, 2011, Meekings signed a contract with Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a two-year contract. Soon after his move to Inverness Meekings admitted that the possibility of developing his director Terry Butcher was influential in his decision to join.

In the 2014–15 season, Meekings started the season well when he scored the first goal of his career in September 2014, heading the opening goal for Inverness, in a 3–2 defeat by Aberdeen. On 8 November 2014, he made his 100th league appearance for the club in a 4–2 win over Hamilton Accies. Meekings scored two weeks later on 22 November 2014, in a 3–1 win over Motherwell and scored seven days later, in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup, in a 1–1 draw against St Mirren, leading to a replay. Despite interest from Peterborough United, it was announced on 12 February 2015, that he had signed an extension to his contract, agreeing to remain with Inverness until the summer of 2017. Meekings became the subject of much national and international interest in the aftermath of ICT’s Scottish Cup semi-final win against Celtic. During the game, television pictures and replays clearly showed that he ‘handled’ the ball in the penalty area, preventing a certain goal – however, the incident was ‘missed’ by the match officials. In an unprecedented move, Meekings was retrospectively cited by the SFA’s Compliance Officer to face a charge of ‘preventing a goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball’. He was offered a one-match-ban, but Inverness contested this and a date was set for the case to be heard. On the day of the hearing, it transpired that he should not actually have been cited, as the referee had subsequently confirmed that he had indeed seen the ‘incident’ but not the alleged ‘offence’. As a result, the case did not proceed and the charge against Meekings was dropped, with the SFA confirming that he would be eligible to play in the cup final. Following this, Celtic Manager Ronny Deila believed Meekings deserved to play in the final, while Meekings, himself, said he was lucky to avoid suspension and credited Manager John Hughes for helping avoid global headlines. In the build up to the Scottish Cup final, Meeking scored his third goal of the season and set up another, in a 3–0 win over Dundee United on 16 May 2015. Meekings started and played in Scottish Cup Final, which Inverness won 2–1 against Falkirk.
