Liam Grimshaw

Grimshaw joined United at schoolboy level,[3] and later in his career went on to make his debut for the Manchester United Academy against city rivals Manchester City.[3] During the 2012–13 season Grimshaw was a regular in the side, notching up a total of 28 appearances and eventually forcing his way into the Manchester United reserve side during the latter stages of that campaign.[3] Also, Grimshaw was appointed as Academy team captain, which he were to take on regularly. His eye-catching form led to Paul McGuinness, manager of the under-18's team, comparing Grimshaw with the likes of John O'Shea and Phil Neville, both of whom progressed through the youth ranks at Old Trafford.[3]

Grimshaw's first taste of first-team action as a professional was with Scottish club Motherwell, whom he joined for the 2015–16 season.[4] He made his debut for the Steelmen from the bench in a 1–1 draw at home to Ross County.[5] In January 2016, Grimshaw was recalled from his loan at Motherwell shortly before it was due to expire.[6]

On 18 January 2016, Grimshaw joined Preston North End for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract.[7] He was released from his contract in August 2017.[8]

On 31 January 2017, Grimshaw joined Chesterfield on loan until the end of the season. He made his debut for the club on 4 February against Oldham Athletic.[9]

Grimshaw returned to Motherwell on a permanent basis in August 2017.[8] On 16 May 2018, Grimshaw signed a new one-year contract with Motherwell.[10] On 12 March 2019, he signed a further one-year contract keeping him at the club until 2020.[11]
