Shane Lewis Cansdell-Sherriff (born 10 November 1982) is a former Australian professional football centre-back. He represented Australia at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Greece.

Playing career

[edit]

Beginnings

[edit]

At 16, Sherriff caught the attention of Leeds United after the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship, where Australia finished runners-up. He spent three years at Elland Road, but only tasted first-team football on loan at Rochdale in 2002. Sherriff was released by Leeds during the club's financial crisis in 2003 and signed for Danish Superliga side AGF Aarhus. After three fairly impressive years in Denmark that won him a spot in the Australian squad for the Athens Olympics, Sherriff was signed by Tranmere Rovers at the start of the 2006–07 season. He made over 40 appearances in his debut season and even became club captain. During the 2007–08 season, injuries to the Rovers' first-choice wingers Steve Davies and Chris Shuker, as well as the arrival of Andy Taylor at left-back, saw Sherriff frequently appearing on the left side of midfield.[citation needed]

Shrewsbury Town

[edit]

On 28 June 2008, Sherriff signed for Football League Two side Shrewsbury Town on a two-year contract[2] and scored a 40-yard long shot on his debut, a 4–0 win over Macclesfield Town, on 9 August 2008. He established himself as a first-team regular and in June 2010 signed a new two-year contract.[3] Sherriff was considered to have reached the peak of his career at Shrewsbury, becoming both the club's captain and longest-serving player with over 160 appearances in all competitions. On 16 March 2011, he earned a national call-up.[4]

Preston and Burton

[edit]

After suffering a shoulder injury during a 2–1 home win to Southend United on 21 January 2012, Sherriff indicated his desire to extend his contract again at Shrewsbury Town,[5] but ultimately rejected it and left for Football League One side Preston North End on 16 May.[6] On 25 September 2013, he moved down a division on loan to Burton Albion for three months[7] and then terminated his deal with Preston in May 2014 to stay at Burton.[8] Sherriff was released at the end of the 2015–16 season.[9]

Return to Australia

[edit]

On 13 July 2016, Sheriff came back to Australia, signing for Manly United FC in the National Premier Leagues NSW. He stated his ambition of easing into the coaching profession as the main reason of his joining, saying, "I will be working on my coaching experience where I can. I would like to go into management once I finish playing so while I continue to play I will continue to learn as a player and how various coaching ideas effect players."[10]

In 2020, after a year-long break, Sherriff returned to playing for Adamstown Rosebud as player-coach.[11]

Coaching career

[edit]

On 25 July 2017, Sherriff began his coaching career for Adamstown Rosebud, a position he held for three years until December 2020.[12] In March 2021, he was appointed as head coach of Bankstown City FC.
