He hit double figures for goals and assists with the Under 18s in 2018/19 and is now determined to take his opportunity at senior level.

“I’m delighted to get the deal done and I’m just hoping I can get some game time for the team now,” Shaw said.

“It’s been a really good experience being part of the squads and I’ve learnt a lot. Hopefully that will stand me in good stead for the new season.”

Shaw joins Sean Graham, Emil Jaaskelainen and Owen Watkinson in signing professional terms.
