Shaw played for Currie RFC[4] [5] in 2001-2.[6] and captained the side.[7]
He played for East Kilbride RFC at Flanker.[8] after his time at Currie.
In 2007 he was playing for a Scottish Classics XV side. Afterwards he felt unwell and a heart attack was diagnosed.[9]
As the Flanker named for Warriors first match as a professional team - against Newbridge in the European Challenge Cup - Shaw has the distinction of being given Glasgow Warrior No. 7 for the provincial side.
On moving to Currie, Shaw still played for Glasgow[10] much to the dismay of Edinburgh Rugby who had prematurely included him in their squad to face Glasgow.[11]
He played for Glasgow in their match against South Africa in 1998.[12] he also played for the amateur Glasgow District against Scotland Under-21 in 2001.[4]
He was capped for Scotland A.[13]
He became a player-coach for the East Kilbride side under Fraser Stott in 2003.
Shaw was to coach Waysiders Drumpellier[14] from 2006 to 2010[15] [16] [17]
Shaw was to coach Whitecraigs RFC[18] from 2010[13]
He is now refereeing rugby matches.[8]
Away from rugby, he is the managing director of Scaffolding Scotland.[19] [2] [20]
Shaw was arrested and charged with assault and disorderly conduct in Scottsdale, AZ on 3 December 2016.[21]
