Career

Football League

During his time with the "Sky Blues", he played just six games before moving on to Hartlepool United.

His next move was to Conference National side Burton Albion [1] [2] where he stayed for just over a year.

Hinckley United

He joined Hinckley United in July 2005, [3] starting in midfield for the Conference North club, but an injury crisis caused him to be moved to defence. He played so well in that position that he was ever present in his defence role for Hinckley United, making over 100 appearances.

Kettering Town

Shilton left Hinckley on 7 December 2007, signing for Kettering Town. [4] but made just two appearances during the 2007–08 season.

Solihull Moors

He moved on to Solihull Moors for the 2008–09 season. [5] but was released, however, on 3 October 2008.

Bedworth United

After his release from Solihull Moors, Shilton was without a club for a season, but later moved onto Bedworth United of the Southern League Division One Midlands. He had been training with the club during the summer of 2009 [6] before subsequently joining the club.

Hinckley United (second spell)

In August 2013, Hinckley United confirmed Shilton as one of their registered players for the 2013–14 season.
