Club career

Leyton Orient

Shorey started his career at Leyton Orient as an apprentice in 1998,[3] but after breaking into the Orient first team with occasional appearances in the 1999–2000 and 2000–01 seasons, he caught the eye of Reading's manager at the time, Alan Pardew.

Reading

Shorey signed for Reading for an initial fee of £25,000 on 10 February 2001,[4] and quickly went on to establish himself as a regular in Reading's first team. In a vote to compile the Royals' best-ever eleven, Shorey was voted the best left back with 53.1% of the vote. However, at one stage, Shorey was near to having his left foot amputated due to an infection. He was on a drip for three months but came through the treatment and made a full recovery.

On 1 August 2006, he committed his future to the club, signing a new deal to stay at the club until June 2009.[5]

The 2006–07 FA Premier League season was an important one in Shorey's career as it saw him achieve his first English international cap. He helped Reading reach an impressive eighth position in the table in their first ever season in the English top flight. On 5 May 2007, it was announced that he had taken second place in the 2006–07 Player of the Season vote by the Reading fans.[6]

Given these feats Shorey was linked with a move to a number of other Premiership clubs at the end of 2006–07 season. Reports Shorey had turned down an improved contract offer spurred these rumours.[7] Eventually the player confirmed he had no intentions of leaving Reading.[8]

Reading's 2007–08 season relegation to the Championship resparked rumours Shorey leaving the club with Aston Villa and Portsmouth reportedly interested.

Aston Villa

Shorey at Villa Park.

On 7 August 2008, Aston Villa completed the signing of Shorey on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee,[9] but Shorey did not rule out a return to Reading later in his career.[10] Shorey provided cover for the injured Wilfred Bouma, and wore the number 21 previously worn by Gary Cahill. He made his Villa debut in a 4–1 away win against FH Hafnarfjordur in the UEFA Cup.

Shorey was at fault in Villa's back four against Middlesbrough in November, meking an error that helped hand Boro a 2–1 victory at Villa Park. He was dropped for a good part of the season, with Luke Young switching to left-back; Carlos Cuéllar, Craig Gardner, Nigel Reo-Coker and James Milner all operated as right-backs to cater for Young's switch to the left. However, mounting defensive issues (notably in the 5–0 defeat at Liverpool) later led to Shorey's return to the side and Young's return to the right-back position.

Many reports in the media throughout 2009 suggested that Shorey was unsure whether or not his future lay at Villa Park,[11][12][13] despite manager Martin O'Neill claiming previously that he had plans for the former Reading defender.[14] Nonetheless, Shorey began the 2009–10 season in the Villa first team, starting in Villa's four opening games.[15][16][17] On 1 September 2009, it was rumoured that Shorey would make a season-long loan move to Portsmouth. Having travelled to Fratton Park, both parties were unable to conclude a deal, and Shorey remained with Aston Villa.

Nottingham Forest

After falling out of favour at Aston Villa following the signing of Stephen Warnock from Blackburn Rovers, Nottingham Forest announced the loan signing of Shorey for a month on November 24, 2009.[18][19] He soon became a regular at left back as Forest kept challenging for promotion at the top of the table. His loan deal expired at the end of January with Villa manager Martin O'Neill saying that he had no intention of selling Shorey.[20]

Return to Aston Villa

Due to an injury to regular Villa left back Stephen Warnock, Aston Villa recalled Shorey ahead of the game against Arsenal at Villa Park on 27 January 2010. The defender did not feature, but was named on the substitutes bench.[21]

Fulham

Shorey joined Fulham on 1 February 2010 on loan until the end of the season with a view to making the move permanent. On 1 July 2010 Shorey returned to Aston Villa as Fulham decided not to sign him on a permanent deal due to Roy Hodgson leaving for Liverpool.[22]

West Bromwich Albion

On 7 August 2010, Martin O'Neill confirmed that Shorey had travelled to The Hawthorns to undergo a routine medical ahead of his proposed transfer to West Bromwich Albion. West Bromwich Albion confirmed the signing of Shorey on 9 August 2010 on a two-year contract with the option of a further year in the club's favour.[23][24] Shorey made his West Bromwich Albion debut as a substitute on 21 August 2010, in a 1–0 home win against Sunderland. He made his first league start for the club at home to Liverpool the following weekend, after starting in the League Cup in midweek against former club Leyton Orient.

International career

Following good performances for Reading during the 2006–07 season, the Reading supporters introduced a "Shorey For England" song.[25] As the season progressed, the media started to pay attention to the then uncapped player.[26][27]

Shorey was called up to the England B squad to play Albania at Burnley's Turf Moor ground on 25 May 2007,[28] and started the match, before being substituted after 73 minutes (Shorey was replaced by Joleon Lescott) with all the goals already having been scored in a 3–1 win for England.[29]

Pundits had suggested that Shorey could make the step up to the senior squad,[30] and on 26 May 2007, Steve McClaren selected him in his England squad to face Brazil in a friendly match, and Estonia in a Euro 2008 qualifier.[31] He made his full England début in a 1–1 draw against Brazil at Wembley on 1 June 2007,[32] impressing many,[33][34] but did not make the bench for the match against Estonia. This first England cap was the day before his wedding which was held in the local town of Shinfield, just outside Reading.[35]

On 22 August 2007, Shorey earned his second full international cap in a 2–1 friendly loss to Germany at Wembley.[36]
