Biography

Shillington attended Padua College in Brisbane.

Sydney Roosters

He started his NRL career playing for the Sydney Roosters from 2005 until 2008. He was thought to be eligible to represent France for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup.[2] On The Footy Show Brad Fittler asked him whether he was eligible to represent France and he stated that he wasn't, it was a rumour started by Lopini Paea but Shillington did say he has French bloodlines.

Shillington signed a 4-year deal with the Canberra Raiders starting in 2009.[3][4]

Canberra Raiders

In April 2009, he was named in the preliminary 25 man squad to represent Queensland in the opening State of Origin match for 2009.[5] He did not make an appearance for the Maroons until the 3rd game of the series though.

At the end of the 2009 season Shillington was selected as part of the Australian squad that travelled to Europe for the 2009 Four Nations tournament. He made his debut against England.

In December, 2009, Shillington was arrested for drink driving after testing more than twice the legal limit.[6]

Shillington was named the winner of the Mal Meninga Medal as the Raiders' player of the year for 2010.[7]

In 2010 he was selected in the Australian test team to play New Zealand in April[8]

In 2011, Shillington was picked in the Australia V New Zealand test played in Newcastle playing off the Bench, before heading to Great Britain for the 2011 Four Nations tournament in England and Wales. For the first two games (VS New Zealand & England), Shillington played off the bench wearing the number 16,but in the game VS Wales, he will start at prop (number 8). When Australia played New Zealand in England, Isaac Luke (New Zealand hooker) came in late on Shillington's legs which looked like it would end his Four Nations tournament. He was in doubt played against England at Wembley but did play.
