Christos Shelis (born 2 February 2000) is a Cypriot footballer who plays as a defender for Shrewsbury Town.

Early career

Shelis joined the Arsenal academy in Greece as a youngster, before moving to London and subsequently joining the youth set-up at Grimsby Town.[4] He was signed to the Shrewsbury Town youth academy towards the end of the 2016–17 season on the recommendation of former Grimsby and ex Shrewsbury manager Paul Hurst.[4]

Club career

Shelis travelled with the Shrewsbury Town first-team squad to a training camp in Portugal, and featured regularly during the 2017–18 pre-season.[4] Whilst still a second year scholar, he signed a two-year professional contract with the club on 3 October 2017,[3] and made his professional debut on the same day against West Bromwich Albion U21s in an EFL Trophy group-stage match.[5] In the same competition on 7 November at home to local rivals Walsall, he made a last-minute error that allowed the opponents to score the only goal of the game. He was supported by captain Mat Sadler in the aftermath.[6]
