Club career
Born in Stoke-on-Trent, Shotton started his career with Stoke City prior to his move to Bury in 2017.[1] Having progressed through the club's youth structure, he made his first team debut in September 2018.[2][3] On 19 September 2017, he made his debut for Bury in their EFL Trophy defeat to Rochdale, featuring for the entire 90 minutes in the 4–0 loss.[4] Following this, Shotton was an unused substitute on several occasions before making his league debut in April 2018, in a 3–3 draw with Doncaster Rovers.[5]
Ahead of the forthcoming 2018–19 campaign, Shotton, along with two fellow graduates, signed their first professional contracts.[6] To March 2019, he has not played for the first team in 2018–19 but is an active member of the club's under-18 team.[3]
He left the club after they were expelled from the Football League in August 2019, signing for West Bromwich Albion in September 2019.[7]
