Shaun Richard Maloney (born 24 January 1983) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder or winger for Premier League club Hull City and the Scotland national team.

He started his career at Celtic, playing 215 matches across all competitions and winning honours including five Scottish Premier League titles and five Scottish Cups, spending time in England with Aston Villa between two spells at Celtic Park. He is the first player to claim both the SPFA Players' Player of the Year and the SPFA Young Player of the Year awards in the same season, doing so in 2006 during his first spell with Celtic. In 2011 he returned to England with Wigan Athletic, winning the 2013 FA Cup Final before leaving for Chicago in January 2015.

Maloney made his senior international debut for Scotland in 2005, and has since earned 46 caps, scoring seven goals.

Early life

Maloney was born to an English father and Scottish mother in Miri, a coastal city in north-eastern Sarawak, Malaysia, on 24 January 1983.[2] He spent his infancy in Malaysia while his father, a helicopter pilot and armed forces veteran, worked there as a flying instructor. The family returned to Britain when Maloney was five years old, after his father accepted a job in Aberdeen, Scotland.[2] In a 2014 interview, Maloney said: "Although I am Scottish and play for Scotland, Malaysia will always be a special part of me."[2]

Maloney found a love for sport from a young age, particularly football and tennis.[citation needed] By the age of 10, he had joined his first football club, Kincorth Boys' Club.[citation needed] He played regularly for his Primary School Team, St Joseph's. At 12, he moved to Culter Boys' Club then at 14, to Albion Boys' Club.[3] He played a number of games for Cults Academy, where he was a student.[citation needed]

Club career

Celtic

After joining Celtic as a trainee in 1999,[4] Maloney made his first team debut on 29 April 2001 against Rangers at Ibrox Stadium, in a 3–0 win for Celtic.[5] He spent the next few years trying to break into the first team, spending most of his time as a substitute. Despite not playing regularly, Maloney acquired a reputation for being a free kick specialist.[6][7] Maloney did appear several times for Celtic during their run to the UEFA Cup Final in 2003, and scored in a 3–1 win over VfB Stuttgart at Parkhead in the quarter-finals.[8][9]

In February 2004, Maloney picked up a cruciate ligament injury.[10] He returned from the injury late in season 2004–05,[11] starting only one game in that season.[12]

Maloney was in lethal form for Celtic in the 2005–06 season, his annus mirabilis, after being moved from a striking position to the left of midfield by manager Gordon Strachan.[13][14] His displays received praise from players, fans and the media throughout the year,[15][16][17][18] and in recognition of his excellent season he was awarded both the SPFA Player of the Year[19] and Young Player of the Year awards,[4] the first time a player has won both plaudits in the same season.[4] He also won Celtic Fans' Player of the Year, and Players Player of the Year in a season which saw him score 16 goals and contribute 28 assists from midfield.

With his contract expiring at the end of the 2006–07 season, Celtic moved to offer Maloney a new deal.[20] However, contract negotiations continued for months, constantly breaking down due to differences between the two parties.[20] Chief Executive Peter Lawwell asserted that Celtic "cannot keep players at any cost"[21] while Maloney warned that "In situations like this one, both parties have to be completely happy with the outcome." He also promised that the prolonged contract talks would not affect his football and that he hoped he would not have to consider leaving the club in the future.[22] With the realisation that Maloney would be able to leave for free by signing a pre-contract with another club in January 2007, the Celtic support feared the worst, recalling Jackie McNamara's departure.[23]

No new contract was agreed with Celtic and eventually a £1 million transfer to Aston Villa was agreed, where Maloney would play under his old boss Martin O'Neill.[24]

In his first tenure, Maloney made a total of 139 appearances for the Hoops in all competitions, scoring 37 times.[25]

Aston Villa

Just before the transfer window closed on 31 January 2007, Maloney signed a pre-contract agreement with Aston Villa. Villa manager Martin O'Neill, who managed him at Celtic, was keen to bring Maloney to Villa for the second half of the season however and moments before the deadline he signed for the Midlands club for a reported fee of £1 million.[26] He made his debut in the 2–0 defeat at Reading on 10 February 2007[27] On 28 April 2007, Maloney scored his first Villa goal in a victory against Man City at the City of Manchester Stadium from a free kick which was curled around the wall into the bottom right of the goal.[28]

Maloney before an Aston Villa game in 2007

Maloney had trouble settling into the club but after a somewhat lacklustre start to his Villa career, he began to show his best form. Maloney has acknowledged that his football had been suffering but remained optimistic about his future at the club: "Homesickness has affected my form. I haven't played well enough to play in the team and I think that has shown, so hopefully now things can change."[29] Both O'Neill and teammate Stiliyan Petrov, who were both at Celtic during Maloney's time there, had expressed their desire for Maloney to stay at the club despite reports linking him with a move back to Scotland.[30][31]

Maloney scored a brace for Aston Villa in a 4–4 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day 2007.[32] However, after that Maloney did not play a lot of games as half of his last season appearances were substitutions, and he also said that he would like to one day go back and play in Scotland.[33]

Return to Celtic

Maloney playing for Celtic in 2009

On 22 August 2008, Celtic announced the signing of Maloney on a four-year deal[34] for a fee of £3 million.[35] Maloney marked his return with a Man of the Match performance and two assists in his first match, after coming off the bench for Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink in a 3–0 victory over Falkirk at Celtic Park.[36] Maloney scored his first goal after his return to Celtic in a 4–2 away win over Motherwell[37] and managed his second the following week in a 3–1 away win at Kilmarnock.[38] He finished the season with five goals, taking his total Celtic goals tally to 42.[39]

Under new manager Tony Mowbray, Maloney played in 17 of Celtic's first 18 fixtures of season 2009–10.[40][41] However he began having trouble with his Achilles tendon after the 2–1 defeat against Rangers on 4 October 2009.[42] Maloney played a further four games after that, but was substituted at half-time in Celtic's League Cup defeat against Hearts. It was revealed he was suffering from Achilles tendinitis,[43] and he did not player another game that season.[41]

Maloney started the 2010–11 season in good form with goals against St Mirren,[44] Hearts[45] and a brace against Hamilton.[46] After this run of form, Maloney was given the short-term captaincy of Celtic in the absence of Scott Brown through injury.[47] However, fitness problems flared up again for Maloney in November 2010 when he injured his ankle during a league match against Inverness CT.[48] He required to undergo ankle surgery in December,[48] and didn't return to the first team until April 2011.[49] Maloney featured in eight of Celtic's remaining matches; scoring against Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup semi-final and then against Motherwell in the last league fixture of the season.[50]

Wigan Athletic

Maloney joined Wigan Athletic in the Premier League on 31 August 2011 for a fee of £850,000, signing a three-year deal.[51] He made his debut on 13 September 2011 in a 2–1 defeat against Crystal Palace in the Carling Cup.[52] He struggled to break into the first team, appearing three times as a substitute during the first half of the 2011–12 season.[53] Maloney admitted his fitness "was lacking a little bit" when he joined the club,[54] and manager Roberto Martínez felt that Maloney needed more time to settle-in.[53] On 11 March 2012, he made his first Premier League appearance in almost five months, coming on as a substitute against Norwich City.[55] His performance was described as "outstanding",[56] and he was rewarded with his first league start for the club in the following game against West Bromwich Albion.[57] On 24 March 2012, he scored a penalty against Liverpool at Anfield in a 1–2 win for Wigan – his first goal for the club.[58] Maloney topped this effort with a wonderful curling goal against Manchester United on 11 April, lifting his side out of the relegation zone for the first time since October with a 1–0 win.[59] Then, on 28 April 2012, Maloney scored Wigan's third goal in an emphatic 4–0 home win over fourth placed Newcastle.[60]

On 17 January 2013, it was announced that Maloney signed a new contract with Wigan Athletic, keeping him at the club until 2015.[61]

On 7 April 2013, Maloney scored a 94th minute free kick goal, seconds from the end of the QPR match at Loftus Road which earned Wigan Athletic a valuable point in their race to once again escape from Premier League relegation. Six days later, on 13 April 2013, Maloney scored Wigan Athletic's first goal in the FA Cup semi final at Wembley against Millwall, with a volley on the 25th minute and was voted man of the match, guiding Wigan Athletic to their first ever FA Cup Final. On 11 May 2013 Maloney won the FA Cup with Wigan, playing the whole game and assisting the only goal of the match in a 1–0 upset win against Manchester City.[62] However, only three days later, Wigan were relegated from the Premier League following a 4–1 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.[63]

Chicago Fire

On 25 January 2015, Maloney signed for Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire for an undisclosed fee.[64] He was signed as one of the team's Designated Players.[65] On 4 April 2015, Maloney scored his first goal for Fire in a 3–2 win over Toronto at Toyota Park,[66] and went on to win MLS player of the week honours.[67]

Hull City

After only eight months in Chicago, Maloney signed a two-year contract with Hull City on 27 August 2015.[68] Maloney was transferred for an undisclosed fee.[69]

He made his debut on 29 August 2015 in the home match against Preston North End which City won 2–0.[70] Maloney came off the bench to score his first goal, on 21 November 2015, in a 1–1 draw away to Bristol City.[71]

International career

Maloney made 20 appearances and netted six times for Scotland Under 21s.[4]

Maloney made his full international debut as a half-time substitute in Scotland's 1–0 defeat to Belarus at Hampden Park on 8 October 2005.[4] By 20 June 2014, he has gained 32 caps for Scotland[4][72] and scored his first goal for Scotland, a free-kick in the Svangaskard Stadium in a 2–0 victory over the Faroe Islands in June 2007.[73]

Maloney has scored four goals in UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group D, including the winner in Scotland's home tie against the Republic of Ireland.[74]
