The 22-year-old joined City in 2007 and rose through the ranks before joining partner club New York City FC on loan in their first season. Subsequent loan spells at Rotherham United and Dutch club Heerenveen followed, with the latter being cut short for unexplained reasons.
Shay will now continue his career under the tutelage of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and revealed that he’ll be used mainly on the right at his new club.
