Luke McShane (born 6 November 1985 in Peterborough) is a footballer playing for St Neots Town.
Footballing career
Peterborough United
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
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
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. He was insulted at the local derby with Stamford when a dim-witted moron repeatedly called him a "grandad" whenever he took a goal kick but McShane had the last laugh as he made a string of fine saves to earn his side a credible point.
Luke McShane is a fast and youthful goalkeeper who is one of the best goalkeepers in non league says St Neots manager Steve Lomas .
