Career

A tough battler and a competent defender, Shields made his Hibernian début in 2004. He was loaned out to Berwick Rangers in the first half of the 2005–06 season for first-team experience. After returning to a Hibs squad ravaged with injuries later in the 2005–06 season, Shields made seven starts in the right back position. He was then given a new one-year deal at Hibs. With other players returning to fitness, however, he struggled to gain a place in the Hibs team during the 2006–07 season. He was loaned to Dundee in December 2006, and was released by Hibs at the end of the season.

Shields joined Greenock Morton in August 2007. [1] He then joined Cowdenbeath in January 2008, on a free transfer.

In February 2010, Shields re-joined Berwick Rangers after being released by Cowdenbeath. [2]

In July 2010, Shields signed for Arbroath. [3] He was released at the end of that season, in May 2011. [4]

In September 2011, Shields signed for Bo'ness United. [5]
