Shae Lou Tim Cahill was born on 26 April 2005 in
Merseyside, England to Rebekah (
née Greenhill) and professional footballer
Tim Cahill. Both his parents were born in
Sydney, Australia, although he is of Samoan descent through his father. He has an older brother,
Kyah Cahill, and a younger sister, Sienna Cahill, as well as a younger brother, Cruz Cahill. Kyah is a Samoan youth international footballer, having played for
Macclesfield Town and Spanish clubs
Leganés and
Rayo Vallecano. Both his uncles, Sean and
Chris Cahill, also represented Samoa at international level. Sean later became a
mechanic. His family resided in
Liverpool and moved to
New York City, the United States in 2012 where he attended
Northern Highlands Regional High School, located close to his home in
Saddle River, New Jersey. His family also took residence at
Lower Plenty, Victoria,
Caringbah South, New South Wales and
Horningsea Park, New South Wales in Australia. Cahill moved with his father to
Hangzhou, China in 2015, but relocated to
Melbourne eighteen months later after he told his father that China is "not the right move" for his football. At the age of 13, Cahill began training to become a professional footballer. == Career ==
