Playing career

Shipway made his professional debut for the North Queensland Cowboys in the Australian Super League in round 2 of the 1997 season against the Western Reds.[3] Shipway played a further four more seasons for the Cowboys in the National Rugby League; the competition formed following the Super League War. Shipway then joined the Northern Eagles for a year before the side reformed itself as the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles after which he played one further year for the club before leaving for a two-year stint in the European Super League.[4]

Shipway had originally joined the Cowboys after several years playing in the Queensland Cup (formerly known as the BRL Cup) for the Redcliffe Dolphins.[5] He made his debut for Redcliffe in 1996 but had joined them a season earlier as a colt.[6] He won a premiership in 1996 and also in 2006 with Redcliffe, after returning to the Queensland Cup outfit following his two-year stint at the Salford City Reds in the European Super League.[7]
