Sheldon Anthony Kendall (born 31 December 2007) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for EFL League Two side Gillingham, on loan from EFL Championship club Millwall. Born in England, he represents Guyana at youth level.
Club career
[edit]Millwall
[edit]Kendall came through the Millwall academy, joining at under–14 level after spells with Balham Blazers and Whyteleafe earlier on in his career.[4] He signed his first professional contract with Millwall on 10 January 2025.[5][6]
Just three days after signing his pro deal, Kendall made his professional debut for Milwall on 13 January 2025; as he replaced Mihailo Ivanović in a 3-0 win in the FA Cup against Dagenham and Redbridge.[7][8] In the games that followed his debut, Kendall was on the bench for league games against Portsmouth,[9] Stoke City,[10] Sunderland,[11] and Sheffield United respectively.[12] On 16 January 2026, he signed a new long-term contract with the club.[13][14] On 8 April 2026, Kendall was nominated for the 2025–26 Championship apprentice of the season at the EFL Awards.[15]
Gillingham (loan)
[edit]On 4 August 2026, despite featuring heavily in pre-season for Millwall, Kendall joined League Two side Gillingham on a season-long loan.[16][17] Kendall made his debut for The Gills four days later, coming on as a substitute for Kadeem Harris during Gillingham's 3–0 loss against Luton Town in the EFL Cup.[18] On 22 August 2026, Kendall made his professional debut in the EFL, as he came on as an 84th minute substitute for Ronan Hale during the 0–0 draw against Fleetwood Town in League Two.[19] On 19 September 2026, he scored his first senior brace in professional football - which came in the 85th and 89th minute respectively in Gillingham's 3–0 win at home to Bristol Rovers.[20]
International career
[edit]Born in England, Kendall is of Guyanese descent. He was called up to the Guyana U20s for 2026 CONCACAF U-20 Championship qualifying matches in February 2026.[21] On 24 February 2026, Kendall made his Guyana U20 debut during a 3–2 defeat to Curaçao at Stadion Rignaal 'Jean' Francisca.[22] On 28 February 2026, Kendall scored his first goal for Guyana during a 5–0 win against Anguilla U20,[23] but was later sent off after being involved in an on-field altercation in the 86th minute, which saw both sides disqualified from Concacaf Men’s U-20 competition as a result.[24]
