Footballing career

[edit]

Peterborough United

[edit]

McShane started his career at Peterborough United and also had loan spells at Deeping Rangers, Stamford, Hornchurch, twice at Kettering Town, twice at Gravesend & Northfleet, Basingstoke Town and Worksop Town.[1] He plays as a goalkeeper. On 12 March 2007 McShane was released by Peterborough United,[2] after making one FA Cup appearance, a 2–0 win against MK Dons, earning praise from Posh manager Barry Fry after keeping a clean sheet, McShane was called into action just 10 minutes before kickoff due to a back injury that first choice 'keeper Mark Tyler had suffered in pre-match training.[3] He was linked a group of non-league clubs after his release from Peterborough.[2]

Cambridge United

[edit]

After his release by Peterborough, McShane signed on non contract terms with Cambridge Regional College, before joining Cambridge United on 17 July 2007.[4] On 1 March 2008 Cambridge United announced that McShane had left the club by mutual consent.

Spalding United

[edit]

After being released by Cambridge McShane was snapped up by Unibond First Division South outfit Spalding United. He was a star performer in what was a dismal season for the Tulips.

Luke McShane is a fast and youthful goalkeeper who is one of the best goalkeepers in non league says St Neots manager Steve Lomas .
