Career
=Fulham=
Sheckleford joined the academy at Fulham in 2011. He progressed quickly through the academy, making his debut for the under-18s as a 15-year-old. He was part of the team that reached the FA Youth Cup final in 2014, and went on to captain the under-18 side. In October 2014, he signed his first professional contract on a two-year deal. This was extended for another year in summer 2016. In November 2016, he joined Wealdstone on loan, where he played 13 times in all competitions.[http://www.aylesburyunitedfc.co.uk/players/ryheem-sheckleford#playingcareer Ryheem Sheckleford - Aylesbury United FC] Fulham released Sheckleford at the end of the 2016-17 season.[https://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2020/may/05/fa-youth-cup/ Where are they now?]

Sheckleford was without a club in the 2017-18 season, though he did play on trial at Bolton Wanderers in April 2018.[https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/16163291.report-bolton-wanderers-under-23s-1-colchester-united-0/ Report: Bolton Wanderers Under-23s 1 Colchester United 0] He signed for Maidenhead United in August 2018,[https://www.maidenhead-advertiser.co.uk/gallery/maidenhead-utd-fc/134735/maidenhead-united-bring-in-sheckleford-and-cole-tostrengthen-defensive-options.html Maidenhead United bring in Sheckleford and Cole to strengthen defensive options] but spent most of the season out on loan at Walton Casuals. After a brief return on loan to Casuals at the start of the following season, Sheckleford returned to the Magpies and established himself as first-choice right-back, holding down his spot in the side for the next three seasons.[https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/maidenheadunited/teams/6424/player/ryheem-sheckleford-2056320 Ryheem Sheckleford - Maidenhead United] He left the Magpies in June 2022 after turning down a new deal.
