Liam Shaw, born on 12th March 2001 (aged 24), hails from England. The 6ft 1in (1.87m) tall midfielder, weighing 11st 6lb (73kg), mainly takes to the field as a central midfielder for Northampton Town and sports the number 29 jersey.

In July 2017, Shaw commenced his professional football journey with a trainee position at Sheffield Wednesday, an esteemed club in the Championship in England. During his debut season (2019-2020) at Sheffield Wednesday, he broke into the first team twice in league matches. In the subsequent 2020 - 2021 season, Shaw improved on his previous record, making 19 appearances and netting one goal for the Sheffield team.

In July 2021, Shaw made the journey north, transferring to Premiership giants Celtic for a respectable fee of around £300k. Unfortunately, Shaw's stint at Celtic was brief, with only one league match appearance to his name in the 2021 - 2022 season.

January 2022 saw Shaw loaned out to Motherwell, another team in Scotland's Premiership. The half-season spent at Motherwell was a modestly successful one for Shaw. He racked up seven appearances in league matches for the side.

In a surprising twist, Morecambe, part of the National League in England, procured a loan deal for Shaw in September 2022. The season (2022 - 2023) at Morecambe proved fruitful, with Shaw taking the field in an impressive 28 first-team league matches and netting two goals.

Shaw's loan expeditions continued into the 2023 summer transfer window, with Wigan Athletic in League One successfully securing his services. And as the following year approached its conclusion, October 2024, Shaw permanently moved away from Celtic, joining Fleetwood Town in English League Two.

The turnover continued as Shaw once again transferred in January 2025, this time to League One side Northampton Town for an undisclosed fee. As of the current season, 2025 - 2026, Shaw's presence on the pitch for Northampton Town has sadly been absent.
