Once again eligible for the under-20 the following year, Shanley won a Munster Under-20 Championship medal on 18 July 2019 after being selected at full-back in the 3–16 to 0–12 defeat of Kerry in the final. He was again selected at full-back when Cork defeated Dublin by 3–16 to 1–14 to claim the All-Ireland Under-20 Championship.
