[edit] Footballing career
[edit] Peterborough United
McShane started his career at Peterborough United and also had loan spells at Deeping Rangers, Stamford, Hornchurch, twice at Kettering Town, twice at Gravesend & Northfleet, Basingstoke Town and Worksop Town.[1] He plays as a goalkeeper. On March 12, 2007, McShane was released by Peterborough United,[2] after making one FA Cup appearance, a 2-0 win against MK Dons, earning praise from Posh manager Barry Fry after keeping a clean sheet, McShane was called into action just 10 minutes before kickoff due to a back injury that first choice 'keeper Mark Tyler had suffered in pre-match training.[3] He was linked a group of non-league clubs after his release from Peterborough.[2]
[edit] Cambridge United
After his release by Peterborough, McShane signed on non contract terms with Cambridge Regional College, before joining Cambridge United on July 17, 2007.[4] On March 1, 2008 Cambridge United announced that McShane had left the club by mutual consent.
[edit] Spalding United
After being released by Cambridge McShane was snapped up by Unibond First Division South outfit Spalding United. He was a star performer in what was a dismal season for the Tulips. He was insulted at the local derby with Stamford when a dim-witted moron repeatedly called him a "grandad" whenever he took a goal kick but McShane had the last laugh as he made a string of fine saves to earn his side a credible point.
Luke mcshane is a fast and youthful goalkeeper who is one of the best goalkeepers in non league says St Neots manger Steve Lomas .
