Shevlin was a trainee at his hometown club Athlone Town. He made his first-team debut as a 16-year-old substitute on 17 April 1997. Shevlin then went on to sign for Shamrock Rovers in the Eircom League of Ireland Premier division before going to America on a football Scholarship. He went on to play three years at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. His performances for the Seahawks gained international recognition when he was drafted into the Irish Squad for the Universiade tournament in İzmir, Turkey.

Shevlin began his appearance on the world's stage in fine form scoring against Russia in the first match of the group. The Irish squad followed with matches against Japan, Thailand, and Iran, where Shevlin was again amongst the goal scorers. His performances on the world stage attracted interest from various clubs.

He also had a spell with Clyde F.C.
