Ryan Shanley, born on 16 January 2001 (age 25), is a Scottish striker currently with Kelty Hearts. His wider career has had the usual lower-league movement, but the spell that gives it most shape came at Edinburgh City.
At Edinburgh City, Shanley had his clearest run of league production. In 2022-2023 he scored six goals in 22 league appearances, his most productive league season to date. That spell remains the main reference point in his career rather than a passing stop on the way elsewhere.
He has remained relevant at Kelty Hearts in 2025-2026, primarily through regular involvement rather than background squad status. He has made 27 league appearances and scored nine league goals, with 29 appearances and 12 goals in all competitions. There have also been two League Cup outings. His profile is listed on Transfermarkt.
Shanley’s career is that of a working Scottish lower-league forward: most clearly defined by Edinburgh City, and still active in a Kelty Hearts side where he continues to get first-team minutes and goals.
