Club career

Early career

Born in Worthington, Massachusetts, Shapiro-Thompson began his career with New England Revolution, also studying at the Milton Academy in Milton, Massachusetts. [2] He moved to Spain with a school programme that the Milton Academy offered, before moving again in 2017, joining the academy of professional side Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia. [2] [3]

The following year, he joined Polish side Legia Warsaw on a reserve contract, alongside compatriot Brian Iloski, and following technical director Ivan Kepčija, who had held the same role at Dinamo Zagreb. [4] [5] He left the club in July 2019, having played for their reserve team in the III liga. [6]

Collegiate soccer

On his return to the United States, he enrolled at the Boston College, playing for the school soccer team, the Boston College Eagles. [2] In his first season with the Eagles, he made fifteen appearances, being nominated for the All-ACC Freshman Team. [3] The following season was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic in Boston, with Shapiro-Thompson having made six appearances, scoring once. [3] After another six appearances the following year, he suffered a torn ACL, but managed to recover to make sixteen appearances as a senior. [3] During his time at the college, he also played for Western Mass Pioneers in the USL League Two, though he only made one appearance, in the 2021 USL League Two Playoffs.

Professional

Shapiro-Thompson was drafted in the third round of the 2023 MLS SuperDraft by the New York Red Bulls as the 79th overall pick. [3] He was assigned to the club's reserve team, the New York Red Bulls II in the MLS Next Pro, but in May 2023, he was loaned back to the first team ahead of the U.S. Open Cup game against D.C. United. [7]

International career

Shapiro-Thompson was called up to the United States under-14 and under-15 sides for training during his youth career. [2] [3]
