Lincoln City’s Tom Shaw Secures Future with New Contract Extension

In a favourable turn of events for local football enthusiasts, Lincoln City’s assistant head coach, Tom Shaw, has assured his continued tenure with the Imps, signing a contract extension to remain at the club until summer 2029. Shaw, a pivotal figure at the club for eight years, started his association with the Imps at the academy, later carving his niche as a first team coach in 2022.

During the 2023-24 season, Shaw assumed the role of interim head coach prior to taking over as the assistant head coach following Michael Skubala’s placement as the senior coach. Reflecting on his new deal, Shaw expressed his excitement, saying, “I’ve had a long association here in varying roles and reaching this juncture where I and my family are committing to the near future, leaves me highly gratified. I hold immense affection for the football club—it’s been a key chapter of my coaching saga and I am elated to prolong my stint.”

Jez George, Lincoln’s director of football, extolled Shaw’s valuable input and prospective contributions, remarking, “Tom has flourished as a coach over the past seven years and indubitably has a promising future. Hence, we are thrilled that he has entered a new contract, and we aspire to achieve our subsequent ambition in unity.” This extension denotes a remarkable stride in the club’s persisting initiatives to establish a robust groundwork for potential triumphs.
