Shane Duffy was born on 1 January 1992, in Northern Ireland, making him currently 34 years of age. Standing at 6ft 3in (1.93m) tall and weighing 11st 13lb (76kg), Duffy primarily operates as a central defender, currently plying his trade at Norwich City wearing the number 4 jersey. According to Transfermarkt, his market value hovers around the region of £427,000.
Duffy began his professional career at Everton in November 2007, where he made a handful of first-team appearances over several seasons. The 2011 and 2012 seasons saw him loaned out to Burnley and Scunthorpe United successively, before moving to Yeovil Town on loan for the 2013-2014 season where he amassed 37 league appearances and netted one goal.
September 2014 marked a significant move in Duffy's career as he transferred from Everton to Blackburn Rovers for a fee of around £1.5 million. Over his tenure at Blackburn, he made numerous appearances and scored a total of five league goals. His talent was acknowledged by Brighton & Hove Albion, who in August 2016 acquired him for a substantial fee of around £4.5 million.
Duffy's Brighton stint was notably fruitful, with a considerable number of league appearances and notable scoring achievements across several seasons. It was in September 2020, however, that the Northern Irish defender was loaned to the mighty Celtic in Scotland's Premiership. Across the 2020-2021 football season, Duffy made a mark in Glasgow, representing the Hoops in 18 games whilst also netting three league goals.
On completion of his Celtic loan, Duffy returned to Brighton & Hove Albion in June 2021. After playing out another season there, he experienced a loan spell at Fulham and later a permanent move in January 2023. His stint at Fulham was brief, however, as Duffy transferred to Norwich City just six months later. Currently, in the 2025-2026 season, Duffy continues to establish himself as a formidable force in Norwich's defence, clocking up four first team appearances so far this year.
