[edit] Career

Shaw started his career as a trainee at Arsenal, turning professional in 1991. His debut came against Nottingham Forest on December 3, 1994. Unable to break into the Arsenal first team, Shaw spent periods on loan with Burnley, Cardiff City and Peterborough United during his time at Arsenal, before he was sold to Millwall in September 1997. He made 13 appearances in six years for the Gunners, all but one of them as substitute, scoring two goals.

Shaw spent three years with Millwall before moving to Gillingham in 2000. He left Gillingham for Sheffield United in 2004 but unable to break into the first team had a loan spells at Rotherham United. He subsequently signed for the team but after just 17 appearances moved on a free transfer to Chesterfield in 2006. He found his opportunities at Saltergate limited, and left the club by mutual consent in August 2007 and joined Oxford United shortly afterwards. In October 2007 he left Oxford to join Hungarian team Ferencvárosi TC.

Shaw returned to English football by joining Retford United of the NPL Premier Division. He left the club in February 2011 and signed as captain of the new American side F.C. New York in the USL Pro league on March 1, 2011.[1]

On May 23, 2011, it was announced that Coach Matt Weston had resigned from his position at F.C. New York, and Paul Shaw had been made interim head coach.[2]
