Born on 12th March 2001, Englishman Liam Shaw, is currently a central midfielder for Fleetwood Town. Standing at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing 11st 6lb (73kg), this impressive talent identifies on the field with the number 26 jersey.

Shaw's odyssey in professional football began in July 2017. He joined Sheffield Wednesday, an English Championship side, as a trainee. Over his initial seasons, he gradually found his footing and gained considerable experience, appearing 21 times and scoring a single goal across the 2019 - 2020 and 2020 - 2021 periods.

In July of 2021, Shaw headed northwards, joining Celtic, a Premiership side in Scotland, with a transfer fee reported around £300k. However, his time at Celtic was somewhat stunted; he featured only once in league matches for the 2021-2022 season.

January 2022 saw Shaw remaining in the Scottish Premiership but switching allegiance to Motherwell, in a loan deal from Celtic. He racked up a healthy count of seven appearances in league matches for the remainder of the 2021 - 2022 season.

Further loans from Celtic ensued, firstly to Morecambe in England's League Two in September 2022, where he demonstrated his prowess by featuring in 28 league matches and scoring twice throughout the 2022 - 2023 season; then, in July 2023, to Wigan Athletic, a constituent of England's League One.

In October 2024, a permanent move away from Celtic materialised, leading Shaw to join Fleetwood Town in England's League Two. His performance in the ongoing 2024 - 2025 season has seen him making six appearances in league matches. In addition, Shaw has participated in the EFL Trophy 2024 - 2025 for Fleetwood Town once as a starter and made a substitute appearance as well.

As a former Celtic player, a deeper reflection on Shaw's time with the club is warranted. The midfielder's tenure, however, remains marked by brevity and a series of loans. Despite opportunities to prove his worth, his sole appearance for the Hoops hints towards an unfulfilled potential at the club. Nevertheless, through these temporary relocations - at Motherwell, Morecambe, and Wigan - Shaw found additional platforms to discover, refine, and diversify his skillset. This vital experience would serve him well at his new permanent club, Fleetwood Town, as he seeks to recapture form, reclaim standing, and relentlessly pursue growth.
