[edit] Club career
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 at Bury.[6] However, after making 39 league appearances,[1] he was released at the end of the 2007–08 season.[7]
He joined Conference National club Ebbsfleet United in July 2008.[8] In August 2010 it was reported that he was on trial with English Football League club Stockport County, before re-signing for Ebbsfleet United a few weeks into the season.[9]
[edit] International career
Whilst playing for Swindon Town, Shakes made his international debut, coming on as a half-time substitute for Trinidad and Tobago in a 2–0 victory against Iceland in March 2006.[10]
In October 2011, Shakes was then called up to Guyana for their 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Barbados and Bermuda.[11] 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.[11] He made his debut for Guyana in a 2–0 away win against Barbados on 7 October 2011,[12] before scoring his first goal four days later in a 1–1 draw with Bermuda.[13]
Shakes was eligible to play for Trinidad and Tobago through his mother's heritage, and Guyana through his father's birth.[11]
