Liam Shaw, born on the 12th of March in 2001, is a 23-year-old English midfielder currently playing for Fleetwood Town. Standing at 6ft 1in (or 1.87m) and weighing 11st 6lb (or 73kg), he primarily commands the centre circle, donning the number 26 jersey.
In the heat of July 2017, the young prospect joined Sheffield Wednesday as a trainee. He had a slow integration into the first team, making his debut within the Championship in the 2019-2020 season, where he graced the field twice in league matches. This appearance rate increased in the subsequent 2020-2021 campaign as he made 19 outings and netted once for the Owls.
An opportunity to play in Scotland's Premiership came calling in July 2021, with Shaw transferring to the esteemed Celtic Football Club for around £300,000. However, his time at Celtic Park was short-lived. He only made a single league appearance that season before being moved on loan to fellow Premiership side, Motherwell, in January 2022. Shaw got slightly more game time here, making seven appearances in the latter half of the 2021-2022 season.
September 2022 saw another loan spell, this time seeing Shaw returning to England and joining Morecambe in League Two. Here he enjoyed a more significant spell of football, making 28 appearances and scoring twice in the 2022-2023 season.
In July 2023, Celtic sanctioned another loan, this time to Wigan Athletic. Here Shaw continued to receive regular game time, proving invaluable in his development. In October 2024, Celtic cut ties with Shaw and he transferred outright to Fleetwood Town in the English League Two.
In the ongoing 2024-2025 season at Fleetwood Town, Shaw has so far made three first team appearances in league matches. In addition, he's had a taste of cup football, with one substitute appearance in the EFL Trophy 2024-2025 for his side. It remains to be seen what the rest of the season holds for the English midfielder.
