Shilton started his football career with Plymouth Argyle as a trainee in August 1994. Roughly one year later, Shilton was the subject of a £125,000 transfer to Midlands side Coventry City. During his time with the "Sky Blues", Shilton played just six games before moving on to Hartlepool United.
After three rather successful seasons with Hartlepool United, Shilton moved back to the Midlands to Kidderminster Harriers.
Shilton appeared for The Harriers on 79 occasions before moving on to Conference National side Burton Albion. Shilton was with The Brewers for just over one year before joining Hinckley United in July 2005.In December 2007 Sam joined Kettering Town on a free Transfer
He started in midfield for the Conference North club, but an injury crisis caused him to be moved to defence. He played so well in that position that he was ever present in his defense role for Hinckley United, making over 100 appearances. Shilton left Hinckley on 7 December 2007, signing for Kettering Town.
Shilton would make just two appearances for Kettering Town during the 2007–08 season, before moving on to Solihull Moors for the 2008–09 season. He was released, however, on 3 October 2008. After his release from Solihull Moors, Shilton later moved onto Bedworth United of the Southern League Division One Midlands.
