Having been born on 12 March 2001, Liam Shaw is an English central midfielder currently gracing the pitch for Northampton Town. Boasting a height of 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing in at 11st 6lb (73kg), Shaw honours the number 29 on his jersey.

Shaw commenced his career learning the craft of football with Sheffield Wednesday back in July 2017. In his inaugural season (2019 - 2020) with Sheffield Wednesday, he made two appearances in the league games. He managed to bag one goal from nineteen appearances in his second season with the club (2020 - 2021).

In July 2021, Shaw made a move from the Championship outfit to Celtic, a Premiership club in Scotland for a sum of around £300k. However, his stint with the Hoops was brief, making only one appearance in the 2021 - 2022 season.

Shorty after, he was loaned out to fellow Scottish club Motherwell in January the following year. Shaw managed to feature seven times for the Steelmen in the same season.

Leaving behind the Scottish Premiership, Shaw sought another loan old in England, with Morecambe in the National League, in September 2022. With the Shrimps, he recorded 28 appearances along with two goals in the 2022 - 2023 season.

Escaping from the National League, Shaw ventured on another loan to Wigan Athletic, a team in England's League One, come July 2023.

October the next year saw a permanent switch for Shaw, after almost four years with Celtic. He transferred from the Glasgow giants to Fleetwood Town, a League Two side in England.

Further change was encountered in January 2025, as Shaw traded Fleetwood Town for Northampton Town in England's League One. To this date, in the current 2025 - 2026 season, Shaw has yet to make a first team appearance with the Cobblers.
