Shilton Sydney D'Silva (born 15 September 1992) is an Indian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Mumbai in the I-League and Mumbai Football League.
Born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, D'Silva started his football career when he was discovered playing for his school team, St. Pius, and selected to play for the Maharashtra U14 side. After playing for the state during a 10-day football festival, D'Silva joined the youth set-up of I-League side Mahindra United. While with Mahindra United, D'Silva played for the under-15 side in the Manchester United Premier Cup. Then, when Mahindra United U15s played against the India U16 side D'Silva was spotted by youth coach Colm Toal and was thus selected to join the India youth set-up.
In 2010, after the disbanding of Mahindra United, D'Silva was selected to play for the Pailan Arrows, then known as AIFF XI, of the I-League. This team would be a team full of under-23 players in preparation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. D'Silva made his professional debut for AIFF XI on 1 December 2010 against Chirag United in which AIFF XI fell 1–2 in their first ever game. He then scored his first professional goal on 22 December 2010 against Air India. His 34th-minute strike helped AIFF XI win 2–1. He then scored his second goal of the season against Dempo with a 10th-minute goal that lead to a 1–1 draw against the champions.
On 20 December 2011, during a Federation Cup match against Mumbai, D'Silva suffered an ACL tear. This injury lead him to miss the 2011–12 I-League season. After a year out, D'Silva rejoined the team in November 2012, however, in a friendly match against Mohammedan, challenge by Phoolchand Hembram left D'Silva with a broken tibia and fibula. This led to another surgery which meant that D'Silva would miss the 2012–13 I-League season, the last ever season for Pailan Arrows.
