Second stint at Al Shorta

Salam returned briefly to Al Shorta in 2015 and remained for one season where Al Shorta finished 3rd in the league.

Al Fateh

Salam signed for Saudi club Al-Fateh FC in 2015. He made his debut against Khaleej FC on 20 August of that year. He scored his first goal for the club in a 1–0 victory over Al-Taawoun FC in April 2016. Al Fateh narrowly avoided relegation in his first season for the club. Salam and Al Fateh mutually agreed to terminate the contract, citing player's personal reasons to do so.

International career

Shakir represented the former Iraqi Olympic side that won the silver medal at the 2006 Asian Games at Doha, and he was called into the national B team for the 2007 King's Cup in Thailand. His debut with the senior team came in January 2008, when he played a defensive role in Iraq's 1–1 friendly draw with Jordan.

Shakir made two appearances in Iraq's qualifying campaign for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He played the entirety of the 1–1 draw against China before starting again in the 1–0 loss to Qatar.

Shakir later became a frequent starter for Iraq. He would be first choice center back with Ali Rhema. Shaker played in all the 2014 World Cup qualification matches.

Salam Shaker was the starting center back for Iraq in the 2015 Asian cup as the team finished fourth. He scored the deciding penalty Vs Iran in the Quarter final of the competition.

On 29 March 2016, hours after captaining Iraq to a 1–0 win over Vietnam in the joint AFC and World cup qualification, Salam Shaker announced his retirement from international football, citing his reason to allow younger players the opportunity to represent the Iraqi national team.
