From Adams Park to European Football: Where Danny Cowley’s Last Lincoln City Squad Ended Up

Jason Shackell captained us at Adams Park, having been the marquee signing of the summer. He’d come in with years of Championship and Premier League experience, and his first season at Sincil Bank brought a League Two title and a place in the PFA Team of the Year. He could organise a defence, and anybody who saw him take that free-kick against Morecambe will remember he could do a bit at the other end as well.

Lincoln was Shackell’s last club as a player. He joined Austin FC’s academy in 2021, worked his way up to take charge of Austin FC II and led them to the best regular-season record in MLS NEXT Pro in his first year.

In October, he was named the league’s Coach of the Year.
