Kofi Ashton Shaw is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Yeovil Town on loan from club Bristol Rovers.
Born in Gloucester, Shaw joined the West Bromwich Albion academy at the under-7s age group before being released eight years later.[2] Following his release, he joined Bristol Rovers, reportedly drawing interest from Premier League clubs in December 2022 following an impressive FA Youth Cup performance against Leyton Orient.[3] [4]
At the 2023–24 end of season awards, Shaw was named as Rovers' Under-18s Player of the Season.[5] The following week, he was rewarded with a first senior appearance, replacing Luke Thomas in a final-day 2–0 defeat to Wigan Athletic.[6]
Having remained in the first-team picture over pre-season,[7] Shaw made his first appearance of the 2024–25 season in an EFL Cup First Round defeat to Cardiff City, replacing Promise Omochere in the second-half.[8] The following week, on his first senior start, he scored a first senior goal in a 3–3 EFL Trophy Group Stage draw with Tottenham Hotspur U21, his performance improving manager Matt Taylor.[9] In September 2024, he once again was reported to be of interest to Premier League sides with Aston Villa and Southampton reportedly monitoring his development alongside Leeds United.[10]
On 21 October 2024, Shaw signed a new contract until June 2027, before joining National League side Yeovil Town on loan until January 2025.[11]
