Liam Shaw, born 12 March 2001, hails from England and is a professional footballer who mainly operates as a central midfielder. Shaw, who is currently signed with Northampton Town, stands tall at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighs 11st 6lb (73kg). Currently, Shaw dons the number 29 jersey.

The young midfielder's journey in professional football began in July 2017 when he joined Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship as a trainee. He had his first taste of first-team play in the 2019 - 2020 season, making two appearances in league matches. Shaw continued to make strides, making 19 appearances and marking his first goal in the 2020 - 2021 season.

In July 2021, Shaw made a significant move, transferring from Sheffield Wednesday to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for a fee roughly around £300,000. During his short stint at Celtic in the season 2021 - 2022, Shaw made a single appearance in league matches.

Shaw then embarked on a journey through various loan spells. In January 2022, he moved from Celtic to Motherwell, another club in the Scottish Premiership, on loan. During the 2021 - 2022 season at Motherwell, Shaw marked seven appearances in league games. In September 2022, Shaw traded Scotland for England, moving on loan to Morecambe in the National League. During the 2022 - 2023 season, he made 28 appearances and netted two goals.

July 2023 saw Shaw transfer from Celtic to Wigan Athletic in League One on loan. However, Shaw's time at Celtic officially came to an end in October 2024 when he was transferred to Fleetwood Town in League Two.

Shaw moved again in January 2025, this time from Fleetwood Town to Northampton Town in League One for an undisclosed fee. As for current performances, Shaw has yet to make a first-team appearance in the 2025 - 2026 season at Northampton Town.

The young midfielder's career has seen a whirlwind of activity and a variety of clubs so far. As Shaw continues to hone his skills and seek to make a mark in professional football, he remains a player to watch.
