Career

=East Fife and loans=

Sheerin started his career with East Fife, where he stayed until 2010. Unable to fully break into the first team due to weight issues, he was loaned out to Arniston Rangers and Camelon Juniors where he went on to win the East of Scotland Cup. After leaving East Fife, Sheerin signed for Arbroath on a free transfer.

Sheerin moved to Arbroath looking to score his first goal for a Scottish professional team. He stayed at Arbroath for one season and was part of the side which won the Scottish Third Division.
