Liam Shaw was born on 12 March 2001 in England, making him 24 years of age. This six-foot-one (1.87m) central midfielder is currently kicking about with Northampton Town, boasting the number 29 on his jersey. Shaw weighs in at 11st 6lb (73 kg).

His footballing journey started in earnest back in July 2017 when he joined Sheffield Wednesday as a trainee. He played for Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship in his debut season of 2019 - 2020, making two appearances. The following season, he had 19 outings and scored his first league goal.

In July 2021, Celtic in the Scottish Premiership saw something they liked in young Shaw, signing him from Sheffield Wednesday for a fee of around £300k. However, his time at the world-renown Celtic Park was not marked by regular first-team appearances, and come the 2021 - 2022 season, the lad had just one first-team appearance to his name.

Shaw's career took many twists and turns from then onwards. He was loaned out to Motherwell in January 2022 and made seven first-team appearances. From Celtic, he moved to Morecambe in England's League Two in September 2022. Shaw began to find his footing, making 28 first-team appearances and scoring two goals during the 2022 - 2023 season. In July 2023, Shaw took another loan stint, this time with Wigan Athletic in England's League One.

However, it seems Celtic was no longer in Shaw’s future. In October 2024, he transferred from Celtic to Fleetwood Town in England's League Two. A few months later, in January 2025, Shaw was on the move again. Northampton Town, then in England's League One, secured his services for an undisclosed fee. As of this current 2024 - 2025 season, Shaw has been a consistent player, making eight first-team appearances and scoring two goals for Northampton Town.
