Encyclopedic overview

Jonjo Shelvey (born 27 February 1992) is an English football coach and former player who played as a central midfielder. He is head coach of UAE Second Division League side Arabian Falcons.

Shelvey began his career at Charlton Athletic, becoming their youngest-ever player at 16 years and 59 days old. In 2010, he moved to Liverpool for an initial £1.7 million, spending a brief loan at Blackpool. During his time at Anfield, Shelvey was part of a Liverpool squad which won the League Cup and lost the FA Cup final in 2012. He joined Swansea City for £5 million in 2013, and Newcastle United for £12 million two and a half years later. A month after joining Newcastle, he was made the team's stand-in captain in the absence of Fabricio Coloccini, as the season ended with relegation. He then helped the club regain Premier League status, and established himself as the vice captain. After leaving Newcastle in 2023, he had spells at Nottingham Forest, Çaykur Rizespor, Eyüpspor, Burnley and Arabian Falcons, where he began his managerial career in 2026.
