Jonjo Shelvey (born 27 February 1992)[2] is an English footballer who plays for Middlesbrough on loan from Liverpool. A midfielder, he has represented and also captained England at U19 level.[3] Previously he played for Charlton Athletic, for whom he was the youngest-ever first-team player, appearing at the age of 16 years and 59 days.[2] He made a £1.7 million move to Liverpool in the summer of 2010.
Club career
Charlton Athletic
Born in Romford, London, Shelvey (former member of #laspoonmusqique) was in the youth setups of Arsenal and West Ham United the club he supports before moving on to Charlton.[4] Shelvey made his breakthrough in the 2007–08 season after scoring 14 goals in 23 appearances for Charlton's Under 18s. When making his first-team debut in April 2008, against Barnsley, he became Charlton's youngest-ever player, at the age of 16 years and 59 days — beating the previous holder, Paul Konchesky.[5]
On 3 January 2009, Shelvey became Charlton's youngest-ever goal-scorer, with a strike against Norwich City in the FA Cup, 55 days before his 17th birthday,[2] breaking the previous record held by Peter Reeves who was aged 17 years and 100 days when he scored – also against Norwich – in May 1966. Despite interest from several Premier League clubs, on the morning of 27 February, his 17th birthday, Shelvey signed his first professional contract with Charlton. On 9 September he signed a one-year contract extension until 2012. He scored his first league goal in the 3–2 win against Southampton on 4 April 2009.[6][7]
Liverpool
Shelvey signed for Liverpool in May 2010, for an initial fee of £1.7m.[8] He made his debut for the club as an extra-time substitute on 22 September in The Reds' shock League Cup third-round defeat against League Two side Northampton Town at Anfield, with Liverpool losing 4–2 on penalties (with Shelvey scoring in the shootout) after a 2–2 draw.[9] Shelvey started his first game for the club in Liverpool's UEFA Europa League group game against Napoli on the 21 October 2010, playing the whole 90 minutes match in a 0–0 draw.[10] On 24 October, Shelvey made his Premier League debut against Blackburn Rovers at Anfield, coming on in the 87th minute in the Reds' 2-1 win.
Shelvey joined Championship club Blackpool on loan on 30 September 2011.[11] The following day he scored on his debut, in a 5–0 win against Bristol City at Bloomfield Road.[12] He also scored his first professional hat-trick in a 5–0 win away at Leeds United in November 2011.[13]
On 30 November, he was recalled by Liverpool after Lucas Leiva was injured and ruled out for the remainder of the season. [14] He made his first ever Premier League start the following weekend against Aston Villa.[15]
On 6 January 2012 he scored his first senior goal for Liverpool in a 5-1 win in a third round FA Cup tie against Oldham Athletic at Anfield. [16]
International career
Shelvey captained the England Under 16s as they won the 2007 Victory Shield scoring three goals in three games.[17] He also played a key role in the Montaigu Tournament, which England won for the first time in seven years, playing in all four games and scoring a free kick in the final against France.[18] In October 2008 he made his debut for the England Under 17s and scored in a 7–0 win over Estonia.[19]
On his debut for the England Under 19s, in September 2010, he captained and scored a free-kick in a 2-0 win over Slovakia,[20] and followed up by scoring on his following two appearances for the side.[21][22] He won his first Under-21 cap coming on as substitute ina 6-0 win against Azerbaijan in September 2011.[23]
Shelvey is also eligible to play for Scotland[24] and the Republic of Ireland.[25]
