In the field he took 36 catches for Gloucestershire in first-class matches.[2]

In the same year that he made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire, he made his List A debut for the county against Hampshire.[3] Shackleton made 75 List A appearances for Gloucestershire from 1971 to 1978, with his final List A match for the county coming against Leicestershire in 1978.[3] Shackleton took 66 wickets for the county at an average of 33.59,[4] with best figures of 5/20 against Surrey in July 1977.[5] A week earlier he had played in the final of 1977 Benson & Hedges Cup which Gloucestershire won by beating Kent.[6]
