Career
editAfter leaving Cypriot club Olympiakos Nicosia due to contract issues, he joined the Glenn Hoddle Academy, where his father - former England goalkeeper Dave Beasant - was a coach. Following an unsuccessful trial with Birmingham City, he joined non-league Maidenhead United in November 2011.
After a successful half-season with the club, he moved onto Woking, but after just three appearances he left for Billericay Town, returning to the Kingfield Stadium ahead of the 2013/14 season.
At the end of the season, he moved up to the Football League with Stevenage. Sharing goalkeeping duties with veteran Chris Day during pre-season, he was chosen ahead of Day in their opening League Two fixture at home to Hartlepool United, keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 victory.
In July 2015, Beasant signed a one-year deal with Cambridge United.[3] Beasant was released by Cambridge United at the end of the 2015/16 season.[4]
Beasant joined Braintree in the summer of 2016 after rejecting 'numerous' offers from other clubs.[citation needed] He played his first ever FA Cup second-round game on 4 December 2016 against Millwall.
In July 2017, Beasant joined Chelmsford City.[5] After a one-year spell with the Clarets, Beasant made the switch to fellow National League South side Concord Rangers.[6]
After spending the 2019–20 campaign with Hemel Hempstead Town, Beasant joined Chesham United in September 2020.[7]
On 2 June 2023, it was announced Beasant would join Beaconsfield Town ahead of the 2023–24 campaign, following three years at Chesham.[8] He joined Hanwell Town in October 2023.[9] At the end of the 2023/24 season Beasant won the player's player of the year award and supporters player of the year award.
