==Club career==
===Harbour View===
Shelton started his career in the [[Harbour View F.C.|Harbour View]] youth system before becoming a first regular by the age of 18.

===Helsingborg===
In August 2005 Shelton was due to move to [[Football League Championship]] club [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]] after a successful pre-season trial. They attempted to sign Shelton, but a work permit was rejected, and in August 2006 he joined [[Helsingborgs IF|Helsingborg]]<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/sport/Shelton-rates-instinctive-free-kick-his-best_12485357&template=MobileArticle | title=Shelton rates instinctive free-kick his best | publisher=Jamaica Observer | date=9 September 2020 | access-date=23 January 2021}}</ref> for about £100,000.
