Jonjo Shelvey

First, he kicked the ball away in the 24th minute, then in the 72nd minute, he blocked James McCarthy's run, resulting in the second booking.

Despite interest from several Premier League clubs, on 27 February, his 17th birthday, Shelvey signed his first professional contract with Charlton.

He scored his first league goal in the 3–2 win at Southampton on 4 April.

Later that month, he scored in consecutive matches, 2–2 home draws against Blackpool and Cardiff City; the season ended with relegation to League One.

Jonjo Shelvey (born 27 February 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder or central midfielder for Turkish Süper Lig club Çaykur Rizespor and the England national football team.

Shelvey began his career at Charlton Athletic, becoming their youngest-ever player at 16 years and 59 days old.

It was 54 days before his 17th birthday, breaking the previous record held by Peter Reeves who was aged 17 years and 100 days when he scored – also against Norwich – in May 1996.

In 2004, he moved to Charlton Athletic, making his breakthrough in the 2007–08 season after scoring 14 goals in 23 appearances for Charlton's under-18 team.

He made his first-team debut on 26 April 2008, starting in a 3–0 away loss against Barnsley in the Championship.

He became Charlton's youngest-ever player, at the age of 16 years and 59 days – beating the previous holder, Paul Konchesky.

He still had one week of school remaining when he was given his debut by manager Alan Pardew.

On 3 January 2009, Shelvey became Charlton's youngest-ever goal-scorer, with a strike against Norwich City in the third round of the FA Cup, opening a 1–1 draw.

In September 2009, he signed a one-year contract extension until 2012.

Shelvey contributed four goals from 24 league appearances as the Addicks reached the promotion play-offs.

In 2010, he moved to Liverpool for an initial £1.7 million, spending a brief loan at Blackpool.

Shelvey signed for Liverpool in May 2010, for an initial fee of £1.7 million.

Shelvey made his debut for the club as an extra-time substitute on 22 September in the Reds' shock League Cup third-round defeat against League Two team Northampton Town at Anfield, with Liverpool losing 4–2 on penalties (with Shelvey scoring in the shootout) after a 2–2 draw.

Shelvey started his first match for the club in Liverpool's Europa League group match against Napoli on 21 October 2010, playing the whole 90 minutes match in a 0–0 draw.

On 24 October, Shelvey made his Premier League debut against Blackburn Rovers at Anfield, coming on for the final stages in place of Raul Meireles in the Reds' 2–1 win.

Shelvey joined Championship club Blackpool on loan on 30 September 2011.

The following day he scored on his debut, in a 5–0 win against Bristol City at Bloomfield Road, and also scored his first professional hat-trick in a 5–0 win away at Leeds United on 3 November.

On 30 November 2011, he was recalled by Liverpool due to injury problems within the team, mainly surrounding Steven Gerrard and Lucas Leiva, with the latter set to miss the remainder of the season.

He made his first ever Premier League start the following weekend against Aston Villa.

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 won his first cap for the senior team in 2012.

Shelvey played in the youth teams of first Arsenal and then West Ham United, the team he had supported as a boy.

On 6 January 2012 he scored his first senior goal for the club in a 5–1 win in a third round FA Cup tie against Oldham Athletic at Anfield, and on 8 May he scored his first Premier League goal with a 30-yard strike in a 4–1 home win over Chelsea.

He was absent from Liverpool's win over Cardiff City in the season's League Cup Final, and was an unused substitute in their loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup equivalent.

On 10 July 2012, Shelvey signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool.

On 20 September 2012 he came off the bench to score the last 2 goals in a 5–3 win against Young Boys in the Europa League.

Three days later, he was sent off in a league match against Manchester United on 23 September 2012.

He finished the Europa League group stage with four goals, adding one each in a home defeat to Udinese on 4 October, and a draw with Young Boys on 22 November.

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 has since helped the club regain Premier League status, and established himself as Newcastle's vice captain.

Shelvey played for England at under-16, under-17, under-19 and under-21 level and has captained the under-19 team.

On 3 July 2013, Shelvey signed a four-year contract with Swansea City, for an initial transfer fee of £5 million.

He scored his first goal for the club on 16 September 2013, in a 2–2 draw with former club Liverpool, also assisting teammate Michu's goal, but was partly responsible for both Liverpool goals, giving the ball away to Daniel Sturridge and Victor Moses.

He scored a goal on 26 April 2014 in a 4–1 defeat of Aston Villa; from Brad Guzan's clearance, Shelvey "controlled the ball with one touch before propelling it over the back-pedalling American's head and into the net."

Shelvey was sent off in a goalless draw at Everton on 1 November 2014, by getting two bookings.
