Sheridan signed for Coventry City in 1991 and made his Premier League debut at Elland Road on 31 October 1992.
After a further 8 appearances in the 1993–94 FA Premier League season Sheridan returned home to sign for Shelbourne in August 1995.
Disappointment followed in 1997/98 as Shels missed out on the league title on the last day of the season, and lost the FAI Cup Final to Cork City.
Damien Richardson left the managerial hotseat at Tolka Park as a result of the failure to win the championship and in came the uncompromising Dermot Keely.
In total he made 17 appearances for the Hoops but could not prevent Rovers from suffering relegation at the hands of Dublin City.
