Shafie moved to Indera SC in 2017.{{cite web|url=http://inderasportsclub.blogspot.com:80/2017/09/isc-players-2017.html|title=INDERA SPORTS CLUB: ISC PLAYERS 2017|publisher=Indera SC|date=|url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171105081205/http://inderasportsclub.blogspot.com:80/2017/09/isc-players-2017.html|archivedate=5 November 2017|accessdate=5 December 2022}} He scored his first two goals for Indera on 10 September against Menglait FC which finished 4–0. On 26 September, Shafie scored a hattrick in a 6–0 victory over Najip I-Team.{{cite web |title=27/09/2017 DST Super League|url=http://www.rtbnews.rtb.gov.bn/Lists/News/NewDispForm.aspx?ID=3778|date=27 September 2017|publisher=Radio Televisyen Brunei|accessdate=28 September 2017}} He contributed a total of 11 goals for Indera who finished third in the league.{{cite web |title=MS ABDB win DST Super League|url=https://borneobulletin.com.bn/ms-abdb-win-dst-super-league/|date=11 February 2018|publisher=Borneo Bulletin|accessdate=12 March 2018}}

Shafie signed for professional club DPMM FC of the Singapore Premier League on 13 February 2018.{{cite web |title=DPMM FC sign new S League squad|url=https://borneobulletin.com.bn/dpmm-fc-sign-new-s-league-squad/|date=14 February 2018|publisher=Borneo Bulletin|accessdate=12 March 2018}} He made his debut on 24 May in a 1–1 draw against Young Lions as a 77th-minute substitute, providing the assist for Adi Said's equalising goal three minutes from time.{{cite web|url=http://www.foxsportsasia.com/football/asian-football/singapore-football/890446/ikhsan-fandi-wonder-goal-gives-young-lions-draw-brunei-dpmm/|title=Ikhsan Fandi wonder goal gives Young Lions 1-1 draw against DPMM|publisher=Fox Sports Asia|date=23 May 2018|accessdate=24 May 2018}}

Shafie finished the 2018 Singapore Premier League with 11 appearances under Renê Weber, but struggled to even make the bench under Adrian Pennock who prefers wing-backs supplying a front two and bringing on Razimie Ramlli as a super-sub role. At the second half of the season, Shafie made way for Hakeme Yazid Said in the DPMM squad.{{cite web |title=Adi Said re-joins DPMM FC after Malaysian league stint|url=https://borneobulletin.com.bn/adi-said-re-joins-dpmm-fc-malaysian-league-stint-2/|date=17 July 2019|publisher=Borneo Bulletin|accessdate=6 August 2019}}

At the start of the 2020 Brunei Super League, Shafie signed with defending champions MS ABDB, which coincided with his drafting into the Royal Brunei Air Force.{{cite web | url=https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Q-J6XlOGl/ | title=Instagram }} However he transferred to DPMM FC II at the behest of ex-ABDB coach Rosmin Kamis who was put in charge of the team shortly after the Piala Sumbangsih loss to Kota Ranger FC on 8 February.

International career

Shafie has been playing exclusively with the national team setup ever since graduating from Brunei's Sports School.{{cite news |title=Sports School thrash Temburong |url=http://www.bt.com.bn/local_sport/2009/05/16/sports_school_thrash_temburong|date=16 May 2009|newspaper=The Brunei Times|accessdate=18 October 2016}} He was a member of the Brunei under-21 side that was triumphant on home soil at the 2012 Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy, starting three games out of six.

A year later, Shafie travelled to Thailand with the Brunei under-19s for the 2014 AFC U-19 Championship qualification, where they lost all three games.{{cite news |title=Nat'l U-19s set for AFC meet|url=http://www.bt.com.bn/sports-national/2013/10/06/natl-u-19s-set-afc-meet|date=6 October 2013|newspaper=The Brunei Times|accessdate=18 October 2016}} A similar story happened with the under-23s at the 27th SEA Games football tournament in Myanmar two months later, where Shafie only played twice.{{cite web |title=South East Asian Games 2013 (Nay Pyi Taw)|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/sea2013.html|date=18 June 2015|website=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|accessdate=18 October 2016}}

Despite yet to make an appearance in the 2019 season for DPMM, Shafie was in contention for a place in the national squad to face Mongolia at the 2022 World Cup qualification matches in July.
