Club career[]

Hibernian[]

Shanley joined Hibernian at under-15 level[2] and progressed through the youth ranks. In January 2020 he signed a two-year contract with the club.[3] He previously spent time on loan with Civil Service Strollers and Forfar Athletic.[4] He made one appearance for Forfar, in a 6–0 defeat at Falkirk on 25 January 2020.[5]

In September 2020, he made his professional debut as a late substitute in a 3–0 win at St Mirren.[6] Shanley moved on loan to Kelty Hearts in December 2020.[7] Shanley returned to Hibs in January 2021 due to the suspension of football in the Scottish lower leagues.[8] Shanley was then loaned to Irish club Finn Harps, ahead of the 2021 season starting in March.[9] He made his debut in the opening game of the season as his side won 1–0 at home to Bohemians on 20 March 2021.[10] Shanley's loan spell was cut short on 10 May 2021 [11] after making just 1 start for the club and failing to score in 8 appearances.[12]

Shanley moved on loan to Edinburgh City in June 2021 on a deal due to run for the whole of the 2021–22 season.[13] This loan arrangement was cut short when Shanley was released by Hibs in August 2021.[14]

Edinburgh City[]

Following his release by Hibs, Shanley signed for Edinburgh City on 2 September 2021.[14]
