Liam Shaw, hailing from England and born on 12 March 2001, is a dedicated 24-year old midfielder known for his central positioning on the field at Northampton Town. Sporting jersey number 29, Liam brings an intimidating presence on the pitch at 1.87m (or 6ft 1in) in height and has an athletic build, weighing in at 73kg (11st 6lb).

The young player began his career as a trainee at Sheffield Wednesday, a Championship team in England, in July 2017. His first season in the team (2019 - 2020), saw him rise to the first team, making two appearances in league matches. Subsequently, he increased his involvement in the 2020 - 2021 season, making 19 first team appearances and even netting a goal.

In July 2021, Liam Shaw made a significant move from Sheffield Wednesday to Celtic in the Premiership in Scotland with a transfer fee of roughly £300,000. However, his time at Celtic was short and the following season saw him only make a singular first team appearance.

By January 2022, Shaw was loaned out to Motherwell, a fellow Premiership team in Scotland. Here, he played in seven first team league matches in the remainder of the 2021 - 2022 season.

Shaw found himself back in England when he was loaned out to Morecambe in the National League from Celtic in September 2022. He made a more substantial contribution there, making 28 appearances and scoring two goals in the 2022 - 2023 season.

In July 2023, Shaw was transferred once more on loan, this time to Wigan Athletic, a League One team in England. Yet by October the following year, Shaw transferred permanently from Celtic to another English team, Fleetwood Town in League Two.

Come January 2025, Liam Shaw made another move, this time from Fleetwood Town to Northampton Town, a team in the League One in England. The terms of this transfer, including the fee, have not been disclosed. Currently, in the 2025 - 2026 season at Northampton Town, he has yet to make his first team league debut.
