[edit] Career

Lawrence plays as a defender with experience in every position along the backline. He has spent the majority of his schoolboy days with Shamrock Rovers since he was 12 years of age. His impressive performances at schoolboy level for the Hoops resulted in Lawrence making his Under-21 debut at just 17 years of age. His inevitable breakthrough to Rovers' first team at 19 years of age when he made his debut in a Eircom League Cup tie against Drogheda United on May 8, 2007[1]. His league debut came in the next game in Derry on the May 14, 2007[2].

Lawrence remained a regular fixture in the Rovers team during the 2007 season making a total of 16 appearances but with intense competition in Rovers defence for the 2008 season, Lawrence was loaned to rivals Shelbourne for the 2008 campaign to aid his development and to gain vital first team experience[3]. He made his Shelbourne debut during an Eircom League Cup 1st round tie on March 24, 2008 against Sporting Fingal at Morton Stadium, a match Shelbourne won 6-5 on penalties after a 2-2 draw after extra-time[4].
