Liam Shaw was born in England on 12 March 2001, a mid-field maestro who primarily dons the central midfielder position for Northampton Town. Standing at a sturdy 6ft 1in (1.87m), and weighing in at 11st 6lb (73kg), Shaw is a formidable figure on the pitch sporting the number 29 jersey.

Shaw's football journey began earnestly in July 2017 when he was listed as a trainee with Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship in England. His noteworthy debut came in the 2019 - 2020 season at Sheffield Wednesday where he stamped his mark making two first team appearances in league matches. In the following season, Shaw improved on his record, making 19 first team appearances and scoring his inaugural goal in league matches.

July 2021 brought about a momentous career move for Shaw. Leaving Sheffield Wednesday, Shaw transferred to the Scottish Premiership club, Celtic, for a negotiated deal of around £300k. His time at Celtic was marked with a singular first team appearance in the 2021 - 2022 season.

However, come January 2022, the Premiership stage was not left barren by Shaw's prowess. On loan from Celtic, he was admitted to Motherwell where he delivered seven first team appearances in league games during the same season.

Shaw's musical chairs of loan deals continued as he shifted from Celtic to the National League's Morecambe in England by September 2022. Featuring 28 times in first team league matches, Shaw netted two goals for Morecambe in the 2022 - 2023 season.

July 2023 saw a shift in stage but a continuation of loan transfers for Shaw. Leaving Morecambe, he lined up with Wigan Athletic in the League One in England on loan from Celtic. Shaw's time at Wigan ended without any notable highlights as he soon moved again from Celtic to Fleetwood Town in the League Two in England in October 2024.

Reaching the threshold of 2025, Shaw saw his last transfer from Fleetwood Town to Northampton Town in the League One in England in January for an undisclosed fee. His current spell in the 2025 - 2026 season with Northampton Town has yet to see any league match appearances.
