Born on the 13th of September, 2000, Scottish professional footballer Matty Shiels, is currently aged 24. Operating predominantly as a left back, Shiels currently plies his trade with the Scottish outfit Queen's Park, and sports the number 22 on his back.
Shiels is a sturdy presence on the pitch, standing at 5 feet 8 inches (1.73m) and weighs in at 10 stone and 9 pounds (68kg). His current contract with Queen's Park has roughly 11 months to run out, with an acceptance to expire on the 31st of May, 2026.
Shiels first broke into senior football with Hamilton Academical in the 2022 - 2023 season in Scotland. Showing great promise and tenacity, he clocked in 27 first team appearances in his debut venture. It showcases his ability to adapt to the senior football environment quickly and efficiently.
Come the later years, Shiels found himself at the heart of the Queen's Park setup. His involvement, especially in the League Cup during the 2025-2026 season, was worth noting as he was included in the starting eleven on two occasions. This speaks volumes about his talent, and how much trust the coaching staff has on Shiels.
In the grand scheme of things, it's clear that Shiels has a lot of football left in him and holds a promising future. One can only expect to see more of him in the coming seasons as his career continues to develop.
