Career
Youth Level and Senior Debut With Kalleh (2010 - 2013)
After a nationwide scouting of high school students, Shafiei was chosen as a volleyball talent and was invited to national volleyball camps held by Iran volleyball federation. The camps had a major influence on Shafiei and the idea of becoming a professional volleyball player grew on him. Shafiei went on to sign up for Kalleh Academy and train with them on a regular basis. He went on to be part of the 2012 Kalleh Javan (which is Kalleh's youth team and competes in both Iran's youth division as well as Iran's second tier division) and eventually made his senior debut in the 2012-13 season for the defending champions Kalleh in the Iranian Volleyball Super League (IVSL). During this season he was a regular substitute and was usually swapped with Ali Jadidi in order to strengthen the block on the net. Kalleh finished the season 2nd, losing in a 3-2 thriller to Matin Varamin VC, stopping Kalleh's consecutive championships at number 2.[7]

Return to Kalleh (2015 - 2016)
It was announced that after one year of absence Kalleh would return for the 29th edition of the IVSL, but this time due to budget restrictions caused by the building of Kalleh' s brand new stadium, there was not going to be a star studded squad.[11] Shafiei joined Ataei's side as one of the few well known players on the roster alongside Nico Ferrerics, Hamzeh Zarini and Reza Ghara.[12] After a very tough season overall, Kalleh finished the regular season 9th. With 13 losses and only 7 wins and failing to reach the playoffs, this season became Kalleh ' s poorest campaign run ever.[13]
Sarmaye Bank Tehran
(2016 - 2017) Season
For the 2016/17 season Shafiei joined the reigning champions Sarmaye Bank Tehran VC which star studded roster featured players like Milad Ebadipour, Farhad Ghaemi, Łukasz Żygadło, Mehdi Mahdavi, Farhad Zarif. There he alongside Mohammad Mousavi and Adel Gholami formed a middle block trio. Even though Shafiei wore number 6 in both Kalleh and Novin Keshavarz but because number 6 was already taken by Mousavi, Shafiei chose number 16 which from then on became his signature jersey number. Sarmaye Bank finished the season 1st with 20 wins and only 2 losses.[14] Shafiei helped Sarmaye Bank eliminate Shahrdari Tabriz VC (3-2 & 0-3) and Saipa Tehran VC (3-1 & 1-3) to reach the finals against Paykan Tehran VC. He started the game on the bench but was substituted with Gholami and helped Sarmaye Bank make a comeback and win the first match 3-2.[15] Followed by a 3–0 victory in the second game of the series[16] which made their 2016/17 playoff run a perfect 6-0.
