Biography

In the final Scottish Second Division match of the 2010–11 season, Shankland came off the bench to become the youngest-ever player for Ayr United at just 15 years and 300 days old, the record was previously held by Stewart Kean at 17 years and 56 days. By then he had already been on trial at Liverpool and subsequently also spent time at Burnley and Birmingham City, but no offer from England materialised after Ayr requested a development fee from interested clubs.

At the start of the 2012–13 season, Shankland broke another record held by Kean, becoming the youngest goalscorer at 17 years and 17 days old,[6] in a 3–1 away defeat at East Stirlingshire in the Challenge Cup.(that record was broken by Alan Forrest the following season).

In 2013, Shankland joined League Two side Albion Rovers on loan.[8] He scored in the final minute of his debut for Rovers.

Shankland left Ayr at the end of the 2013–14 season after turning down a new contract;
