Born in England, Shakes represented the Trinidad and Tobago national football team once in a friendly, and thereafter has represented Guyana internationally.
Club career
Born in Brixton, Greater London, Shakes began his career at Bolton Wanderers in 2004,[1] and made his debut in an FA Cup third-round replay against Tranmere Rovers in January 2004, scoring a last-minute equaliser to take the match into extra time.[2] He failed to make a league appearance for Bolton,[1] and after spells on loan with Bristol Rovers and Bury, joined Swindon Town in July 2005.[3] Shakes made almost 70 league appearances in two seasons at Swindon[1] but was released at the end of the 2006–07 season.[4]
He joined Brentford in August 2007 after training with the club during the summer[5] and scored a late goal on his debut in September 2007 to give Brentford victory away to Bury.[6] However, after making 39 league appearances,[7] he was released at the end of the 2007–08 season.[8]
He joined Conference Premier club Ebbsfleet United in July 2008.[9] In August 2010, it was reported that he was on trial with League Two club Stockport County,[10] before re-signing for Ebbsfleet a few weeks into the season.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Having scored 11 goals in 46 matches for Ebbsfleet in the 2010–11 season,[11] he added to that statistic by scoring eight goals in 45 appearances for the club during the 2011–12 season.[12] On 29 June 2012, Shakes signed for Kidderminster Harriers.[13] Shakes made 18 appearances for Kidderminster in the 2012–13 season,[14] helping the club finish second in the Conference Premier.[15]
On 3 July 2013, Shakes signed for Conference South club Boreham Wood.[16] Shakes suffered a serious knee injury in pre-season training and was expected to be out for six months.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
On 7 January 2021, Shakes signed for National League South side St Albans City.[17] On 6 April 2021, Shakes announced his retirement.[18]
International career
Shakes made his international debut in March 2006, coming on as a half-time substitute for Trinidad and Tobago in a 2–0 victory against Iceland.[19]
In October 2011, Shakes was called up to Guyana for their 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Barbados and Bermuda.[20] Originally, Shakes failed to meet FIFA's age regulations for changing international allegiance, however, Guyana won an appeal in 2010 which allowed him to do so.[20] He made his debut for Guyana in a 2–0 away win against Barbados on 7 October 2011, before scoring his first goal four days later in a 1–1 draw with Bermuda.[21]
Shakes' third international appearance came in the 2–1 victory over Trinidad & Tobago on 11 November 2011 which sealed Guyana's qualification to the third round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[22] In that game, Shakes scored the first goal and created the second for Burnley's Leon Cort, before Kenwyne Jones' consolation for Trinidad & Tobago.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Shakes was eligible to play for Trinidad and Tobago through his mother's heritage, and Guyana through his father's birth.[20]
