Career
Leeds United
Shackleton started his career at Leeds United's youth academy. He made his U23 debut at the start of the 2016/2017 season. In October 2016, former academy director Neil Redfearn praised him as one of the most promising talents at the club.[3] In the summer of 2017, Shackleton signed a two year professional contract with Leeds United.[4]
On 8 May 2018, he was named in Leeds' first team squad by head coach Paul Heckingbottom for their post-season friendlies tour to Myanmar.[5] He made his first start for Leeds' first team in a pre-season friendly 1–1 draw against York City on 20 July 2018, under recently appointed Leeds' head coach Marcelo Bielsa.[6][7] During the pre-season, Shackleton found himself played in a right wing-back position, as opposed to the central midfielder role he had otherwise typically occupied.[8]
On 26 July 2018, Shackleton was given the number 46 shirt for the upcoming 2018–19 season for Leeds.[9] His first call up to a senior first team match was on 11 August 2018, when he was named on the bench against Derby County;[10] he made his debut in the 4–1 win coming on as a substitute.[11] On 13 August 2018, two days after his professional debut, Shackleton signed a three year contract extension with Leeds United.[12]
On 14 August, Shackleton made his first ever start for Leeds, starting for Leeds in an EFL Cup match against Bolton Wanderers.[13] Exactly one week later, he made his full league debut, starting at right back away to Swansea City in a 2–2 draw, replacing captain Liam Cooper who had been injured during warm-up, and managing to assist Kemar Roofe for Leeds United's first goal.[14]
Style of play
Shackleton plays in centre midfield but can also play as a right wing-back. He is known as a technical player on the ball who also has a tenacious pressing style off the ball.[15][16]
