Career
[edit]Sheik started his career at Charlton Athletic before joining Woking in 2020 and subsequently signed for their local rivals, Aldershot Town two years later.[3] During the 2022–23 season he was also selected as the number one for England Schoolboys FA & represented his country making three appearances.

On 15 July 2024, Sheik joined League One side, Crawley Town on a one-year deal following his release from Aldershot.[9] He then proceeded to join Whitehawk on a season-long loan in September for the campaign,[10] however, was recalled after just one appearance following an injury crisis at his parent club, Crawley. On 2 November 2024, he made his debut for the club, replacing Jojo Wollacott in the 49th minute of an FA Cup first round tie victory against Maidenhead United.[11]
On 12 May 2025, Crawley announced he would be leaving the club in June when his contract expired.[12]

Sheik kept four consecutive clean sheets in South Shields’ opening four league matches of the 2025–26 season.[13] He suffered a shoulder injury during a 1–1 home draw against King's Lynn Town on 8 November 2025.[14] With the club subsequently announcing that he required surgery.[15] He returned to league action on 3 April 2026 as a half-time substitute against Spennymoor Town.[16] In May 2026, South Shields exercised an option to extend his contract.[17]
