Born in England on 12th March 2001, Liam Shaw, now aged 24, takes up the position of a central midfielder for Northampton Town. His physical presence on the pitch is well noted, standing a healthy 6ft 1in (or 1.87m for those of a metric persuasion) and tipping the scales at 11st 6lb (equivalent to 73kg). The number 29 jersey is his pick for kit choice.
In the summer of 2017, Shaw took his initial steps into pro football, joining Sheffield Wednesday as a trainee. After a couple of seasons of development, he made his first team debut in the 2019/20 season, featuring twice in league matches. The following 2020/21 season, he continued to impress with an increased 19 first team appearances and a goal to his name.
Catching the eyes of the scouts, Shaw transferred to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership in July 2021 for a fee of around £300,000. His time in Glasgow was rather restrained, with only a single first team appearance in the league during the 2021/22 season.
By January 2022, another Celtic loan was in the offing. This time, Shaw ventured to Motherwell, also in the Scottish Premiership, where he added a further seven league appearances to his record.
Celtic then opted for a different course of action. Shaw was not destined for the North of the border but instead was loaned out to Morecambe in the English National League in September 2022. There, Shaw received substantial gametime, contributing to 28 league matches and netting twice.
In July 2023, Shaw then embarked on another loan journey - this time to Wigan Athletic in England's League One. Celtic facilitated this move, which was followed by Shaw’s permanent move away from Celtic in October 2024, landing at Fleetwood Town in England’s League Two.
After relatively short stint at Fleetwood Town, Shaw transferred to Northampton Town in League One in January 2025, the details of his transfer fee remaining undisclosed. Currently into 2025/26 season, Shaw has yet to make his league debut for Northampton Town.
