He previously played for Mitsubishi Sagamihara DynaBoars in Japan's Rugby League One, and for Worcester Warriors & Bath in Premiership Rugby.
Shillcock began playing rugby for Warwick School at the age of 7.[2] He made his debut for Worcester Warriors at the age of 17 against London Scottish in the RFU Championship semi-finals; becoming the youngest player to feature in the play-offs.[3]

On 5 October 2022 all Worcester players had their contacts terminated due to the liquidation of the company to which they were contracted.[6]
Shortly after having his contract terminated at Worcester Shillcock was signed by Bath on a short-term deal along with former Worcester teammate Billy Searle.[7] He then joined Mitsubishi Sagamihara DynaBoars in Japan Rugby League One for the 2022–23 Japan Rugby League One – Division 1 season.[8]
