Shorrock was at the academies at Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers, and represented the Stockport Schools Football Association (SFA) for two years, before signed with Port Vale after impressing on trial.[2][3] He became the youngest player in the club's history at the age of 15 years and 145 days when he came on as a 75th-minute substitute for David Worrall in a 4–0 victory at Shrewsbury Town in the group stages of the EFL Trophy on 20 September 2022.[4] He made his EFL League One debut on the last day of the 2022–23 season, coming on as substitute in a 3–1 home defeat to Plymouth Argyle on 6 May; aged 16 years and nine days, he became the youngest player to represent the club in league competition since Stuart Chapman in May 1967.[5]
