Shane Duffy, born on the 1st of January 1992 in Northern Ireland, is a professional footballer who serves as a prominent defender for Norwich City. With a towering height of 6ft 3in (1.93m) and a weight of 11st 13lb (76kg), Duffy is a distinctive presence on the field. He can generally be observed wearing the number 4 jersey.

Launching his career in November 2007, Duffy joined Everton, where he made five first-team appearances in league matches over the course of two seasons. In March 2011, he transferred on loan to Burnley, but only managed a solitary league appearance that season before returning to Everton. However, in August of the same year, he was loaned to Scunthorpe United, where he secured 18 first team appearances and netted two goals. Once again, he returned to Everton after his loan had expired.

In September 2013, Duffy was once again on the move; he transferred on loan to Yeovil Town, amassing 37 first team appearances and a solitary goal. By September 2014, he had transferred from Everton to Blackburn Rovers in a deal worth around £1.5m. Here, he made a total of 63 league appearances over three seasons, striking four times before being transferred to Brighton & Hove Albion in August 2016 in an agreement costing approximately £4.5m.

At Brighton & Hove Albion, Duffy was fairly consistent, playing in over 30 matches per season for three seasons and scoring a total of eight goals. In September 2020, he transferred on loan to the Scottish Premiership, namely Celtic, where he had 18 first team appearances and scored three goals. The move to Celtic brought an end to the 2020-2021 season for Duffy, after which he returned to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Having returned to Brighton & Hove Albion, Duffy was transferred to Fulham on loan in August 2022 before making the transfer permanent in January 2023 for an undisclosed fee. At Fulham, he made five first team appearances, and by July 2023, he had moved onto Norwich City. He made 36 first team appearances and scored one goal in the 2023-2024 season at Norwich City, and in the ongoing season, he has played in 21 matches and scored twice. Duffy also had an appearance in the League Cup 2024-2025 for Norwich City and began two matches in the Championship Play-off 2023-2024.

Overall, Shane Duffy has had a colourful career, with notable turns at a range of clubs and a particularly eventful season at Celtic. Given his track record, it's certain that there are likely to be further chapters to add to his footballing story.
