Liam Shaw, born on the 12th of March, 2001, hails from England and is noted for his versatile skills as a central midfielder. At the mature age of 23, Shaw stands tall at 6 foot 1 inch (1.87m) and weighs in at a robust 11 stone 6 pounds (73kg), both figures undoubtedly contributing to his commanding presence on the pitch for Northampton Town.
Shaw's voyage into professional football began in July 2017, when he enlisted as a trainee with Sheffield Wednesday in England's Championship. His tenure with Wednesday, while relatively modest in terms of involvement saw him making a first team appearance in league matches twice during the 2019-2020 season. However, the subsequent 2020-2021 season at Sheffield Wednesday proved more involved with Shaw making 19 first-team appearances and even scoring his first league goal.
In July 2021, Shaw made a key career move, transferring his talents from Sheffield Wednesday to Celtic in Scotland's Premiership, at a cost of around £300,000. Shaw's performance during the 2021 – 2022 season at Celtic, however, saw limited widespread exposure on the pitch with a mere single league match appearance to his name.
By January of the following year, 2022, Shaw was loaned out from Celtic to Motherwell, a fellow Premiership team. Here, he furthered his playing experience by making seven first-team appearances in the latter half of the 2021 - 2022 season.
Come September 2022, shaking up the grounds of his career again, Shaw was loaned out from Celtic to Morecambe in England's League Two. Shaw's stint in Morecambe was an active one. The 2022-2023 season saw him making a notable 28 first team appearances and scoring two league goals.
Further duty called in July 2023, and Shaw was loaned from Celtic to Wigan Athletic, in the League One in England. Following this, his Celtic connection finally severed in October 2024, when he transferred from the Scottish Premiership club to Fleetwood Town in England's League Two.
A few months later, in January 2025, Shaw made another pivotal move. This time, transferring from Fleetwood Town to Northampton Town in England's League One for an undisclosed fee. His current season there (2024 – 2025) has seen him make a solitary first-team appearance in league competition.
Indeed, such is the story thus far of Liam Shaw, the seasoned midfielder with a rich, albeit somewhat strenuous journey through the ranks of English and Scottish professional football.
