Sheridan left the club along with Aaron Farrell, a few weeks prior to his contract expiring, in a bid to start looking for a new club for the 2011–12 season. On 21 July 2011, Sheridan appeared in a pre-season friendly for Conference North side Eastwood Town in their 1–0 defeat against Wrexham. He was loaned out to Conference National side Lincoln City on 17 November 2011 until 1 January 2012, and made his debut nine days later, starting the game against Ebbsfleet United, a match Lincoln went on to win 3–0. He later signed a permanent deal with Lincoln. After a successful campaign with the imps, Sheridan joined Alfreton Town on a one-year contract, following no new contract offer from Lincoln. Tamworth
