He earned 75 caps for Jamaica, and played at three CONCACAF Gold Cups.
Shelton attended Wolmer's Schools and began his career in the youth system of Harbour View.
In August 2005 Shelton was due to move to Football League Championship club Burnley after a successful pre-season trial.
In his international club career, he was part of championship sides in the 2006 Svenska Cupen and the 2008 Norwegian Cup.
He also played in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Turkey, and Russia.
Shelton started his career in the Harbour View youth system before becoming a first regular by the age of 18.
While at Harbour View he won the CFU Club Championship and the National Premier League.
He was also recognised as youth player of the year during his tenure.
They attempted to sign Shelton, but a work permit was rejected, and in August 2006 he joined Helsingborg for about £100,000.
During the 2006 season, he scored nine goals in 19 games in the Swedish Allsvenskan, despite playing only irregularly due to repeated injuries.
He scored a total of 17 goals in 28 competitive matches, including five goals in four Swedish Cup matches on the way to Helsingborg's victory in the competition.
Despite being signed amidst much fanfare, Shelton did not make his full début until April 2007 in a 2–0 loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
He made only three more appearances for the Blades in the Premiership that season as they unsuccessfully battled to avoid relegation.
With the arrival of James Beattie and Billy Sharp at Bramall Lane during the close season he found games no more easy to come by under new manager Bryan Robson.
Initially limited to cup appearances, he scored his first competitive goals for the club, netting twice in a 5–0 League Cup win over Morecambe in September 2007.
As the team struggled he began to see more first team action, but was unable to turn appearances into goals, scoring only twice more that season, against Manchester City in the FA Cup and Colchester in the league.
With the arrival of new manager Kevin Blackwell Shelton was sidelined once more.
On 24 July 2008, it was announced that Shelton had been sold to Norwegian side Vålerenga, playing in the Tippeligaen, for around £1m (10m kr).
He played in the 2008 Norwegian Cup, and was one of their top scorers in the 2010 Tippeligaen season with 12 goals.
He was part of their squad for the 2008–09 UEFA Cup.
In June 2008 he scored five goals in two 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying games for Jamaica against the Bahamas.
Later the same month, he scored two goals as Jamaica won 7–0 and scored a hat-trick as Jamaica won 6–0.
Shelton spent the 2009–10 season on loan to the Danish side Aalborg BK, playing 11 games.
His contract was to last to the end of the 2011 season.
Shelton made his debut on 2 August, scoring his side's lone goal in a 1–1 game at home against Fredrikstad FK.
He was considered an attacking player with a speed advantage: he was the fastest player to run a 40m sprint in the Tippeligaen.
On 4 August 2011, Shelton was transferred to Karabükspor.
He played for two years, and chose to retain his jersey number 78 when he moved.
His 120th-minute equaliser against to-be league champions Elfsborg in the quarter-final, which Helsingborg won 5–3 after a penalty shootout (4–4 after extra time), and the 1–0 goal in the final against Gefle, were two of his highlights at the club.
In 2013, Shelton moved to Volga Nizhny Novgorod in Russia.
The club suffered from financial issues during this period, and frequently missed payments to the players.
In April 2015, Shelton went on trial with MLS side Colorado Rapids.
Shelton returned to Harbour View at the beginning of 2017, after being out of the game for two years with injury, scoring in his first match on his return.
This match was his last before retirement.
Shelton was capped at the U-17, U-20, U-23 and national levels for Jamaica.
