Shortt was born at Dublin in August 1898, where he was educated in the city at The High School, Dublin.[1] Shortt first played club cricket in Dublin for Merrion Cricket Club, before leaving to play for Pembroke in 1922.[1] Shortt later made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Ireland against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Dublin in 1934.[2] Batting twice in the match, Shortt was dismissed without scoring in Ireland's first-innings by Denijs Morkel, while in their second-innings he was once again dismissed without scoring, this time by Reginald Butterworth.[3] He bowled 18 wicket-less overs for 44 runs in the MCC first-innings, while in their second-innings he dismissed Morkel, Brian Belle and Erroll Tremlett, finishing with figures of 3 for 22 from 8 overs.[3] He did not appear for Ireland after this match, but did continue to play club cricket for Pembroke until 1949, after which he joined YMCA.[1] Outside of cricket, he worked as a dentist.[1] He died at Dublin in August 1963, the day after his 65th birthday.[1]
