About Shaun Whalley

  • Shaun James Whalley (born 7 August 1987) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Shrewsbury Town.
  • Born in Prescot, Merseyside, Whalley played for Norwich City and Southport as a youth before making his Football League debut with Chester City in 2004. After leaving Chester, he spent time in non-League football with Runcorn F.C.
  • Halton and Witton Albion.
  • While on the books at Witton, he spent five weeks on trial with Football League One side Crewe Alexandra but was not offered a contract, so he signed for League Two side Accrington Stanley in 2006.
  • Whalley spent almost two years with the Lancashire club, but following his release in the summer of 2008, he returned to non-League, initially with Wrexham.
  • While at Wrexham, he had a short loan spell with Southport where he helped the team to the Conference North play-offs.
  • He subsequently played at Droylsden, where he was part of the team that won the Manchester Premier Cup in 2010, and Hyde before joining Southport again on a permanent basis in January 2011.
  • He was signed by Luton Town in the summer of 2013 for an undisclosed fee, and joined AFC Telford United on loan in 2014.
  • Both Luton and Telford won their respective leagues during the 2013–14 season, making Whalley a winner of both the Conference Premier and the Conference North in the same season.
  • He left Luton in May 2015, later joining Shrewsbury. Described as an "express-train down the wings" by former teammate Paul Mullin, Whalley was called up to the Football Association XI standby squad for a game against Hallam, the game taking place to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the club.
  • He is the son of the former Preston North End captain Neil Whalley, who was also a midfielder.
