Shorrock was at the academies at Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers, and represented the Stockport Schools Football Association (SFA) for two years, before signed with Port Vale after impressing on trial. [3] [4] He became the youngest player in the club's history at the age of 15 years and 145 days when he came on as a 75th-minute substitute for David Worrall in a 4–0 victory at Shrewsbury Town in the group stages of the EFL Trophy on 20 September 2022. [5] He made his EFL League One debut on the last day of the 2022–23 season, coming on as substitute in a 3–1 home defeat to Plymouth Argyle on 6 May; aged 16 years and nine days, he became the youngest player to represent the club in league competition since Stuart Chapman in May 1967. [6] He was the top-scorer in Vale's youth team in the 2022–23 season, playing at left-wing-back. [2]

He featured in cup games early in the 2023–24 season, playing at wing-back and on the left of a back three. [7] On 19 December, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Stafford Rangers on a one-month work experience loan. [8] He was recalled to Vale in time to play in the 3–2 defeat to Barnsley on Boxing Day, scoring a late consolation to make him the youngest goalscorer in the club's history at 16 years and 242 days. [9] [10] He made his league start on 29 December, in a 3–0 win over Blackpool at Vale Park, when he received praise for keeping opposition winger CJ Hamilton quiet. [10]
