He failed to make a league appearance for Bolton, and after spells on loan with Bristol Rovers and Bury, joined Swindon Town in July 2005. Shakes made almost 70 league appearances in two seasons at Swindon but was released at the end of the 2006–07 season.
He joined Brentford in August 2007 after training with the club during the summer and scored a late goal on his debut in September 2007 to give Brentford victory at Bury. However, after making 39 league appearances, he was released at the end of the 2007–08 season.
He joined Conference National club Ebbsfleet United in July 2008. 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.
Having scored 11 goals for Ebbsfleet in the 2010-2011 season, he added to that statistic by scoring 8 times in 40 league appearances for the club during the 2011-2012 season. On 28 June 2012, Shakes signed for Kidderminster Harriers.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or career:
“Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.”
—“Jennie June” Croly 1829–1901, U.S. founder of the woman’s club movement, journalist, author, editor. F, Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly Mirror of Fashions, pp. 363-4 (December 1870)
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
