In 2007 he played two first-class matches for Warwickshire taking four wickets but he was released at the end of the season.[1] He subsequently signed a two-year deal with Glamorgan.[2] and scored his first ever 100 against Leicestershire on 6 August 2009 he also has a SC. He announced his retirement in August 2011, having failed to recover from a persistent knee injury.[3] In all he claimed 90 wickets in 32 first-class games at an average 24.60.

Born in Bristol, Shantry's father, Brian also played county cricket, for Gloucestershire.
