Shorey started his career at Leyton Orient as an apprentice in 1998,[1] but after breaking into the Orient first team with occasional appearances in the 1999-2000 and 2000-01 seasons, he caught the eye of Reading's manager at the time, Alan Pardew. Shorey signed for Reading for an initial fee of £25,000 on 10 February 2001,[2] and quickly went on to establish himself as a regular in Reading's first team.
On 1 August 2006 he committed his future to the club, signing a new deal to keep him at the club until June 2009.[3]
Following good performances for Reading during the 2006-07 season, the Reading supporters introduced a "Shorey For England" song.[4] As the season progressed, the media started to pay attention to the as yet uncapped player.[5][6] However, to date, England Head Coach Steve McClaren has resisted calls to add Shorey to his squad.
- Shorey is one of the few players to have played in all four professional divisions of the English football league system.
- In a vote to compile the Royals' best-ever eleven, Shorey was voted the best left back with 53.1% of the vote.[7]
