Ricky Ulric Bascombe Shakes (born 25 January 1985) is a retired professional footballer who played as a winger. He has played in the Football League for Bristol Rovers, Bury, Swindon Town and Brentford. Born in England, Shakes represented the Trinidad and Tobago national football team once in a friendly, and thereafter has represented Guyana internationally.

Club career

Born in Brixton, Greater London, Shakes began his career at Bolton Wanderers in 2004,[5] 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.[6] He failed to make a league appearance for Bolton,[5] and after spells on loan with Bristol Rovers and Bury, joined Swindon Town in July 2005.[7] Shakes made almost 70 league appearances in two seasons at Swindon[5] but was released at the end of the 2006–07 season.[8]

He joined Brentford in August 2007 after training with the club during the summer[9] and scored a late goal on his debut in September 2007 to give Brentford victory away to Bury.[10] However, after making 39 league appearances,[11] he was released at the end of the 2007–08 season.[12]

He joined Conference Premier club Ebbsfleet United in July 2008.[13] In August 2010, it was reported that he was on trial with League Two club Stockport County,[14] before re-signing for Ebbsfleet a few weeks into the season.

Having scored 11 goals in 46 matches for Ebbsfleet in the 2010–11 season,[15] he added to that statistic by scoring eight goals in 45 appearances for the club during the 2011–12 season.[16] On 29 June 2012, Shakes signed for Kidderminster Harriers.[17] Shakes made 18 appearances for Kidderminster in the 2012–13 season,[18] helping the club finish second in the Conference Premier.[19]

On 3 July 2013, Shakes signed for Conference South club Boreham Wood.[20] Shakes suffered a serious knee injury in pre-season training and was expected to be out for six months.

On 7 January 2021, Shakes signed for National League South side St Albans City.[21] On 6 April 2021, Shakes announced his retirement.[22]

International career

Shakes made his international debut in March 2006, coming on as a half-time substitute for Trinidad and Tobago in a 2–0 victory against Iceland.[23]

In October 2011, Shakes was called up to Guyana for their 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Barbados and Bermuda.[24] 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.[24] He made his debut for Guyana in a 2–0 away win against Barbados on 7 October 2011, before scoring his first goal four days later in a 1–1 draw with Bermuda.[25]

Shakes' third international appearance came in the 2–1 victory over Trinidad & Tobago on 11 November 2011 which sealed Guyana's qualification to the third round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[26] In that game, Shakes scored the first goal and created the second for Burnley's Leon Cort, before Kenwyne Jones' consolation for Trinidad & Tobago.

Shakes was eligible to play for Trinidad and Tobago through his mother's heritage, and Guyana through his father's birth.[24]
