Shane Blaney, born on 20 January 1999 (age 27), is a Republic of Ireland central defender now with Livingston. At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is a tall presence at the back, which is no bad starting point for a centre-half in Scottish football.
His most productive league season came at Motherwell in 2023–24, when he scored two goals in 24 appearances. That was a useful run of games rather than a breakout of any great drama, but it gave him a clearer footing as an established senior defender.
Blaney is currently listed as Livingston’s number 27, with his market value around £255,000 according to Transfermarkt. His career to this point is that of a developing professional centre-back who has built his case steadily in Scotland.
