Liam Shephard (born 22 November 1994) is a Welsh professional footballer who most recently played for Swansea City.
Shephard grew up in Pentre, Rhondda Cynon Taf. He is son of former footballer Garry Shephard.
Shephard joined Swansea City from Cardiff City in the summer of 2011, and progressed through Swansea City's Academy. Shephard signed his first professional deal with Swansea at the start of the 2013–14 season. Shephard broke into the first-team squad in the first half of the 2014–15 season, and was included on the bench for four Premier League matches and two cup games. Shephard was rewarded for his progress with a new 2 1⁄2-year contract until June 2017.
On 17 January 2015, Shephard joined League One team Yeovil Town on a youth loan deal and made his professional debut three days later against Preston North End. Yeovil later extended the loan until the end of the season. Shephard went on to make 20 appearances for the Glovers and was awarded Young Player of the Year, as Yeovil were relegated to League Two.
Shephard made his first team debut for Swansea City in the FA Cup against Oxford United, on 10 January 2016, in a 3–2 third round defeat.
On 24 March 2016, Shephard returned to Yeovil Town on a month loan deal. Initially brought in as cover for fellow Swansea loanee Connor Roberts, Shephard started six matches all in a defensive midfield role as he helped Yeovil to avoid relegation.
