Jay Shields (born 6 July 1985, in Edinburgh) is a Scottish association football player, currently playing with junior side Bo'ness United.
Shields has played for Hibernian, Greenock Morton, Cowdenbeath and Arbroath, with loan spells at Berwick Rangers and Dundee.
[edit] Career
A tough battler and a competent defender, Shields made his Hibernian debut in 2004. He was loaned out to Berwick Rangers in the first half of the 2005-06 season for first-team experience. After returning to a Hibs squad ravaged with injuries later in the 2005-06 season, Shields made seven starts in the right back position. He was then given a new one-year deal at Hibs. With other players returning to fitness, however, he struggled to gain a place in the Hibs team during the 2006-07 season. He was loaned to Dundee in December 2006, and was released by Hibs at the end of the season.
Shields joined Greenock Morton in August 2007.[1] He then joined Cowdenbeath in January 2008, on a free transfer.
In February 2010, Shields re-joined Berwick Rangers after being released by Cowdenbeath.[2]
In July 2010, Shields signed for Arbroath.[3] He was released at the end of that season, in May 2011.[4]
In September 2011, Shields signed for Bo'ness United.[5]
