Among his other accolades were winning 2 New York State Private High School Championships as well as earning first-team All-Western New York, All-State and All-East region honors. He finished his high school career with a 20–2–1 record in his senior year.

Career

College

Shuttleworth initially attended and played college soccer at Loyola College in Baltimore. Eventually, he transferred to the University at Buffalo where he played soccer with the Bulls. He finished with a 0.94 goals against average and an 8–2–2 record.

During his college years he also played with Kalamazoo Outrage in the USL Premier Development League where he helped the Stu Riddle-led franchise to the elite 8 before succumbing to the eventual 2008 PDL champions Thunder Bay Chill.

Professional

New England Revolution

Shuttleworth played briefly with Buffalo City in the National Premier Soccer League before being signed as a free agent on June 18, 2009, by New England Revolution after the Revs played against USL First Division team Austin Aztex in a pre-season match, with whom Shuttleworth was on trial. He signed a one-year deal with an option for another four years and later spent a short time on loan with Western Mass Pioneers in the USL Second Division.

He made his debut for the Revolution in a 3–0 loss against the New York Red Bulls in U.S. Open Cup qualifying on May 12, 2010. He made his first appearance in MLS league play on May 29 vs New York Red Bulls, coming on as a substitute after a serious injury to Preston Burpo.{{cite web | title=Revolution 3, Red Bulls 2 | website=revolutionsoccer.net | date=May 28, 2010 | url=https://www.revolutionsoccer.net/news/revolution-3-red-bulls-2 | access-date=October 9, 2025}} He made his first start the following week, in a 3-0 loss to Seattle Sounders FC on June 5.

Shuttleworth earned his first MLS clean sheet on October 16 in a 1–0 win against visiting Sporting Kansas City.{{cite web | last=Lemieux | first=Jeff | title=Revolution 1, Wizards 0 | website=revolutionsoccer.net | date=October 17, 2010 | url=https://www.revolutionsoccer.net/news/revolution-1-wizards-0 | access-date=October 9, 2025}} In total Shuttleworth made six appearances (five starts) during the 2010 New England Revolution season.

After recording seven starts in both the 2011 and 2012 Revolution MLS campaigns, Shuttleworth took over as the Revolution's starter in 2013, starting 22 league matches. Shuttleworth set a club record by not allowing a goal in 395 consecutive minutes over a six-game span between May 11 and June 15.

During the 2014 New England Revolution season Shuttleworth started all but two matches of the regular season campaign, posting a career-high 94 saves. On April 19, he made a double-save on a stoppage-time penalty kick attempt by Chicago Fire FC to preserve a 1-1 draw. The effort earned him a nomination for MLS Save of the Week. On August 23 Shuttleworth moved into second place all-time in saves and goalkeeping appearances for the Revolution during a 1-0 victory over Chivas USA. He concluded the regular season as the club's leader in minutes played, with 2880. 2014 would mark the first time Shuttleworth played in the MLS post season; recording a start on November 1 in a 4-2 win over the Columbus Crew, in which he made four saves. Shuttleworth played all 120 minutes of the MLS Cup 2014 final, posting four saves in the Revolution's 2-1 defeat to the LA Galaxy.

Shuttleworth earned five MLS Save of the Week nominations during the 2015 New England Revolution season, making 31 starts, and becoming the second goalkeeper in Revolution history to record 30 wins. On September 19 against the Montreal Impact, Shuttleworth became the 2nd goalkeeper in Revolution history to record 100 starts.

In the 2016 New England Revolution season, Shuttleworth surpassed 10,000 minutes-played for the Revolution, second only to Matt Reis in minutes played by a Revolution goalkeeper. He was named "Santander Man of the Month" for March. He won MLS Save of the Week honors for week four after stopping David Villa's shot in a 1-1 draw with New York City FC on March 16. It was the first time a Revolution keeper had won the award since Matt Reis in 2012.

Minnesota United

On February 15, 2017, Shuttleworth was traded to Minnesota United in exchange for Femi Hollinger-Janzen. Shuttleworth came on late in United's home opener after an injury to starter John Alvbåge, and went on to start the team's next three games. He tended goal for Minnesota United's first MLS point, a 2–2 draw against the Colorado Rapids, and first MLS win, a 4–2 victory over Real Salt Lake.

On August 6, 2019, Shuttleworth was loaned to USL Championship side Sacramento Republic for the remainder of the season.

Following his release by Minnesota at the end of the 2019 season, Shuttleworth joined Chicago Fire on January 30, 2020. Following the 2021 season, Shuttleworth's contract with Chicago expired.

On January 14, 2022, Shuttleworth joined Atlanta United on a one-year contract with a club option in 2023.

On July 7, 2022, Shuttleworth announced his retirement from professional soccer.
