Sheldon Anthony Kendall (born 31 December 2007) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for EFL League Two club Gillingham, on loan from EFL Championship club Millwall. Born in England, he has represented Guyana at under-20 level.

Early life

Kendall began playing football at the age of seven with Balham Blazers before moving to AFC Whyteleafe, where he was spotted by professional scouts at under-14 level.[4] He joined the Millwall academy as a thirteen-year-old, at under-14 level.[5][6]

Club career

Millwall

Kendall signed his first professional contract with Millwall in January 2025, at the age of seventeen.[5] A week later he was named in the match-day squad for the FA Cup third round tie against Dagenham & Redbridge at The Den on 13 January 2025, and made his professional debut as an 84th-minute substitute for Mihailo Ivanović in a 3–0 win.[6][7] He was included in four first-team match-day squads that season, while playing regularly for Kevin Nugent's under-21 side, and was named Millwall's Academy Player of the Season for 2024–25.[6] Nugent described the summer of 2025 as "big" for Kendall, saying the club had deliberately not "over-coached" him.[6]

In August 2025 Kendall made two substitute appearances in the EFL Cup, against Newport County and Coventry City.[8][9] He signed a new long-term contract with the club on 16 January 2026.[9] In April 2026 he was shortlisted for the Championship academy award at the 2025–26 EFL Awards.[10]

Gillingham (loan)

After featuring in four pre-season friendlies for Millwall, Kendall joined League Two club Gillingham on a season-long loan on 4 August 2026, becoming manager Gareth Ainsworth's eleventh signing of the summer.[8][11][12] He made his Gillingham debut as a substitute in a 3–0 EFL Cup defeat to Luton Town on 8 August 2026,[13] and his English Football League debut as a substitute in a 0–0 draw away to Fleetwood Town on 22 August.[14]

On 19 September 2026, Kendall came off the bench against Bristol Rovers at Priestfield and scored with his first touch, a weaker-foot volley from a Nick Freeman cross, for his first Football League goal; he added a second in the 89th minute to complete a 3–0 win.[15] Ainsworth called it "the stuff of dreams" and described the first goal as "a top-striker's finish".[15] Millwall under-21 manager Kevin Nugent said it had been "the right time" for Kendall to go out on his first loan, to gain experience of playing in front of crowds.[16] He made his first senior start in an EFL Trophy tie against Cambridge United.[16]

International career

Born in England, Kendall has represented Guyana at youth level. He was named in the Guyana Football Federation's 21-man squad for the 2026 CONCACAF U-20 Championship qualifying group in Curaçao in February 2026.[17] He made his debut in a 3–2 defeat to Curaçao on 24 February 2026,[18] and scored twice, in the 7th and 56th minutes, in a 5–0 win over Anguilla four days later.[19] The match was marred by a brawl in the closing minutes;[19] the CONCACAF Disciplinary Committee subsequently disqualified both teams from the competition and gave Kendall one of four four-match suspensions handed to Guyana players.[20][21]
