In his three seasons with the Bulls, Shuttleworth (2006-08) finished his career in the top spot for career goals against average with a 0.80 GAA. After a successful career with the Bulls, the Tonawanda, NY native decided to forgo his senior season and sign with the Revolution.

A 2008 second-team All-MAC selection, Shuttleworth was selected to the All-Tournament squad in the 2007 season. Shuttleworth put together a stellar regular season in 2008 with a 0.64 goals against average in 18 matches while recording eight individual shutouts. He anchored a UB defense that posted seven straight shutouts and a streak of 680 consecutive scoreless minutes, which was the longest active streak in the nation when it was halted.

Shuttleworth joined the Revolution after a brief stint with the Austin Aztex of USL-1. Shuttleworth had to clear through waivers at both the USL and MLS level before being signed by the Revolution.
