[edit] Career

[edit] Early career

Shields started his career with Gairdoch United boys club where he actually started of as a midfield player before moving to Rangers as a youth player. Shields made his debut in 1996 in UEFA Champions League tie against Ajax alongside current teammate Scott Wilson. He went on to make only a handful of appearances for the Glasgow club before a £200,000 move to Dunfermline Athletic.

[edit] England and Scotland

After 86 consecutive appearances for the 'Pars' he swapped west Fife for south London in a £600,000 move to Alan Curbishley's Charlton Athletic. After an impressive start at The Valley, Shields ran into some injury problems which coupled with poor commitment in the reserves eventually ruined his Charlton career. After a brief spell on loan at Walsall, Jim Jeffries brought him back home to Scotland at SPL side Kilmarnock. He quickly established himself in the Rugby Park side becoming captain in season 2002-03. This alerted his former employers Dunfermline Athletic who swooped to take him back during the January 2004 transfer window.

Dunfermline played in the Scottish Cup final that season but Shields was cup-tied after playing in an earlier round for Kilmarnock. Injury again wrecked most of the 2004-05 season for him but now seems to have a clean bill of health.

[edit] United States

On 26 May 2009, Shields was poised to join Carolina Railhawks in the USA.[1] Carolina RailHawks FC announced on 16 July 2009 that they have signed Shields.[2]
