Career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Halifax, West Yorkshire,[2] Shanks began his career with Huddersfield Town, joining Bradford City in 2017.[3] He was named in the League Football Education's 'The 11' list in June 2020.[4][5] He turned professional in July 2020, signing a one-year contract.[6]

He made his senior debut for Bradford City on 8 September 2020, in the EFL Trophy.[7][8]

On 12 May 2021 he was one of nine players that Bradford City announced would leave the club on 30 June 2021 when their contracts expire.[9][10]

He signed for Huddersfield Town in August 2021,[3] moving on loan to Nuneaton Borough in September 2021.[11] On 24 March 2022, Shanks joined National League North side Boston United on a youth loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[12]

On 19 January 2023, Shanks' contract at Huddersfield was terminated in order to allow him to pursue other opportunities.[13] He joined National League North club Spennymoor Town two days later.[14] In November 2023 he signed on loan for Bradford (Park Avenue),[15] extending the loan in December.[16] In March 2024, Shanks left Spennymoor by the mutual consent.[17] Later that month, he signed for Gainsborough Trinity.[18]

In May 2024, Shanks returned to Bradford (Park Avenue) on a permanent short-term deal.[19][20] He signed a new contract in November 2024, until the end of the season.[21][22]
