Liam Shaw, born on 12th of March 2001 hails from England and is well known for his prominent role as a central midfielder, currently for Northampton Town. Towering at 6ft 1in (1.87m) tall and weighing 11st 6lb (73kg), he has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned within the midfield while wearing his number 29 jersey.

Shaw embarked on his professional journey in July 2017, joining Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship as a trainee. He made his fledgeling steps in the debut 2019-2020 season at Sheffield, garnering two first team involves in league matches and truly putting his name on the map during the next season 2020-2021, accruing 19 first team appearances and scoring a goal.

Honing his potential further, Shaw found himself transferring from Sheffield Wednesday to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for a fee of £300k in July 2021. However, his tenure at Celtic was short-lived as he only made a singleton first team appearance in the 2021-2022 season.

A player of his skill couldn't be held back and in January 2022, Shaw was loaned to Motherwell, another high-caliber team in the Scottish Premiership. This provided some productive match time with seven first team appearances in the remainder of the season.

In a twist of fate, Shaw found himself back in England when he was loaned from Celtic to Morecambe in the National League in September 2022. He made the most of the league, accruing 28 appearances and scoring a cherished couple of goals in the 2022-2023 season. His time with Celtic had clearly come to an end and by July 2023, he found himself loaned out again to Wigan Athletic in League One.

His tenure with Celtic officially ended in October 2024, when he migrated southwards to Fleetwood Town in the English League Two. This turned out to be a brief stint, and by January 2025, Shaw found his home in Northampton Town, in League One, for an undisclosed fee.

The current season 2025-2026 remains hushed for Shaw, as he is yet to make a first team appearance for Northampton Town. Despite this, we look forward to seeing more of Shaw's appearances and performances in the future.
