Shaun Goff made two first-team appearances during 2002 whilst still a trainee. He later played for several local non-league teams. 

Shaun joined Exeter City as a trainee in 2000 and made his debut in a 3-1 defeat at Southend United in April 2002. He then played in the final game of 2001-02 against Hartlepool United at St James’ Park but, by now a professional, didn’t feature at all during the following season and was released in May 2003. 

Shaun then signed for Tiverton Town, his hometown club, for whom - whilst suffering several injuries - he appeared around eighty times before moving on to Willand Rovers, Witheridge and back to Willand.
