"It was absolutely unbelievable really when the gaffer told me I was in the team, and it was such a proud moment for me. The gaffer pulled me aside on Tuesday and told me to prepare myself because I was in his mind for the game. Then on the morning of the game, he named his team and I was in there and it was such a surreal moment when I heard him tell me the news. I would be lying if I said there weren't any nerves because there were, so just to get out there and put in a decent performance was fantastic for me"

At the start of the 2013–14 season, Shotton failed to make force his way into new manager Mark Hughes' plans. A permanent transfer to Wigan Athletic fell through, but he joined the Championship club on loan until 2 January 2014.[35][36] He made 14 appearances for the Latics, scoring once, in a 2–0 victory against Ipswich Town on 22 September.[37][38]
Derby County
On 25 August 2014, Shotton joined Derby County on loan with a view to a permanent deal.[39] He made the move permanent on 1 January 2015, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee.[40]

Birmingham City
Shotton signed a three-year contract with Birmingham City on 30 June 2016. The fee was undisclosed,
Two weeks later, with the team just outside the play-off positions, Rowett was replaced by Gianfranco Zola,[54] who retained Shotton and Morrison as his central defenders of choice in a three-man back line.[55] In early February, Morrison underwent a hernia operation that was to keep him out until the last two matches of the season, and Shotton himself missed three matches with a groin injury.[56][57] On his return, he played alongside a variety of defenders as Birmingham slipped towards relegation. Zola's replacement by Harry Redknapp with three matches left coincided with Morrison's return to the team, and in a final fixture that Shotton later compared to soldiers in the trenches, the pair helped Birmingham keep a clean sheet away to Bristol City to protect a 1–0 lead and secure Championship survival.[56][58] He finished the season with 43 league appearances, more than any other Birmingham player.[59]
Shotton said he was happy at Birmingham, and would consider extending his contract.
Middlesbrough
Shotton signed a three-year contract with newly relegated Championship club Middlesbrough on 30 August 2017;[66] the fee was undisclosed, though was widely reported as £3 million. He later refused a contract extension so now plys his trade in non-league after drifting around Australia.[65][67]
