Liam Shaw, born on 12 March 2001, hails from England and currently dons the number 29 jersey for the Northampton Town as a robust midfielder. Standing at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing 11st 6lb (73kg), he offers a strong presence in the central midfield.
Beginning his professional journey in July 2017, Shaw joined Sheffield Wednesday Trainees amidst the hustle of the Championship in England. His debut season in 2019 - 2020 saw him stepping out as a part of the first team in two league matches. The following season showed more promising signs with Shaw making 19 appearances and netting a goal.
In a significant move, in July 2021, Shaw was transferred to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership league for a sum close to £300,000. However, his stint at Celtic was fleeting, with just a single first-team appearance in the 2021 - 2022 season.
January 2022 saw Shaw venture out on loan to Motherwell, another team in the Premiership in Scotland. He made seven appearances that season. Later in September, Shaw switched countries again, this time in Morecambe in the National League in England for the 2022 - 2023 season, making 28 first team appearances and adding two goals to his career tally.
In yet another stint on loan from Celtic, Shaw joined Wigan Athletic in England's League One in July 2023. His time at Celtic, although laden with loans, provided him ample opportunities to hone his skills and morph into a versatile player.
Post Celtic, shuffling through the tiers of English football continued for Shaw in October 2024, when he moved to Fleetwood Town in League Two. Within months, in January 2025, he was again on the move, this time to Northampton Town in the higher League One, for an undisclosed fee. His current 2025 - 2026 season at Northampton sees him yet to make a first-team appearance in league matches.
Shaw's career so far paints the picture of a committed young player, consistently evolving and seeking out opportunities to make a mark and sharpen his game in the demanding world of football. From his beginnings in Sheffield to his current position in Northampton, we've seen him navigate through the tiers of football with resilience and determination.
