Comment: I think we probably need more coverage strictly about him in order to deem him as fully notable, and that will come with time... Plus, I think you should make some corrections across the "Career" section, in order to comply with WP:NPOV. Oltrepier (talk) 19:10, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Kofi Ashton Shaw is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League One club Bristol Rovers.
Career
Having progressed through the youth ranks with Bristol Rovers, Shaw reportedly drew interest from Premier League clubs in December 2022 following an impressive FA Youth Cup performance against Leyton Orient.[2][3]
At the 2023–24 end of season awards, Shaw was named as Rovers' Under-18s Player of the Season.[4] The following week, he was rewarded with a first senior appearance, replacing Luke Thomas in a final-day 2–0 defeat to Wigan Athletic.[5]
Having remained in the first-team picture over pre-season,[6] 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.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9]
