Return to Mansfield and Rushden & Diamonds
Beardsley's former club Mansfield spoke to him about re-signing for them in May 2005, although Kidderminster demanded a £5,000 fee for him, half of which would go his former club Doncaster.[27] He eventually joined Mansfield, now playing in League Two, on 5 August 2005[28] for a nominal fee.[29] He debuted as an 82nd-minute substitute in their 3–0 home win over Torquay United on 13 August 2005.[30] His 2005–06 season came to an end during a 3–2 home defeat to local rivals Notts County on 29 August 2005, when he collided with goalkeeper Kevin Pilkington and broke his leg.[30][31] Beardsley had made four appearances that season,[30] which Mansfield finished in 16th place in League Two.[32] He returned to the team almost a year later, on 12 August 2006, as an 88th-minute substitute in a 1–1 home draw with Stockport County.[33] His first two goals of the 2006–07 season came in Mansfield's 3–0 Football League Trophy home victory against Grimsby Town on 31 October 2006.[33]
As he was not playing regularly for Mansfield, Beardsley joined Conference National club Rushden & Diamonds on 19 January 2007 on a one-month loan.[34] He made his debut a day later, when starting in Rushden's 2–1 home victory against Stafford Rangers, and scored his first goal in the following match, with a 75th-minute header in a 3–1 home win over Cambridge United.[35][36] Having helped Rushden move up the table with two goals from three matches,[37] he signed for the club permanently on 31 January 2007 on a one-and-a-half-year contract on a free transfer.[38] He finished 2006–07 with 13 appearances and 2 goals for Rushden,[35] as they finished the season in 12th place in the Conference National.[39] He was released by the club in May 2007 following a change in management.[40]
York City and Kettering Town
Beardsley was signed by
To aid his return from injury, Beardsley joined Conference North club Kettering Town on 31 December 2007 on a one-month loan.[48] He made an immediate impact, scoring two goals in a 6–1 home win over Solihull Moors a day later, after which he was praised in the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph for a "magnificent debut performance".[49] Beardsley continued his scoring form, and had scored five goals from five appearances by the time he joined Kettering permanently on 28 January 2008 on a one-and-a-half-year contract on a free transfer.[50] He played in all of Kettering's remaining fixtures in the 2007–08 season, which he completed with 11 goals from 22 appearances,[51] as the club was promoted to the Conference Premier as Conference North champions.[52]
Beardsley featured regularly for Kettering at the start of the 2008–09 season, and scored his first goal of the season after turning in Jean-Paul Marna's cross in the 82nd minute of a 2–0 away win over Cambridge on 25 August 2008.[53][54] Having scored four goals in the first two months of 2008–09,[53] he rejoined former club Kidderminster on 27 November 2008 on a one-month loan, with a view to a permanent transfer.[55] He debuted as an 80th-minute substitute in a 3–2 home victory against Salisbury City on 6 December 2008.[56][57] Beardsley made three appearances while on loan at Kidderminster, and returned to Kettering after being recalled in January 2009.[58] Only weeks after returning, he entered Kettering's 4–2 home loss to Premier League team Fulham in the FA Cup on 24 January 2009 as a 73rd-minute substitute.[59] Beardsley featured mostly as a substitute over the remainder of 2008–09, which he finished with 44 appearances and 5 goals for Kettering.[53] They finished in eighth place in the Conference Premier,[60] and Beardsley was released by the club in May 2009.[61]

Beardsley made his first appearance of the 2011–12 season as a 95th-minute substitute in a 4–3 extra-time defeat at home to Peterborough United in the League Cup, scoring Stevenage's third goal with a header on 117 minutes, although they lost 4–3.[78][79] He scored twice in Stevenage's 3–0 away win over Stourbridge in the FA Cup on 3 December 2011, scoring the club's first two goals of the match midway through the second half, to ensure Stevenage progressed to the third round for the second consecutive season.[80] Recurring hamstring injuries meant Beardsley struggled for appearances during the second half of the season, scoring one further goal on the last day of the regular season, with a 20-yard shot in a 3–0 home win over Bury on 5 May 2012.[78][81][82][83] With a sixth-place finish in League One, Stevenage qualified for the play-offs, and faced Sheffield United in the semi-final.[84] Beardsley featured in the second leg 1–0 away defeat as a 63rd-minute substitute, as Stevenage were eliminated 1–0 on aggregate.[78] He scored 10 times in 40 appearances during 2011–12, and was Stevenage's top scorer for the season.[85] In June 2012, Beardsley left Stevenage after he failed to agree a new contract with the club.[86]
Preston North End
Beardsley signed for League One club Preston North End on 12 August 2012 on a free transfer, linking up again with manager Graham Westley.[87] He had spent the pre-season ahead of the 2012–13 season training with the club, although the transfer had been held up while the club waited for confirmation from the Football League in accordance with new financial fair play rules.[87] Beardsley made his Preston debut in a 2–0 home win over Huddersfield Town in the League Cup on 14 August 2012,[88] assisting the club's second goal of the match, with his low cross being scored by Nicky Wroe.[89] He scored his first goal for Preston on 4 September 2012 after converting David Amoo's cross in the third-minute of their 1–1 away draw with Carlisle United in the Football League Trophy, a tie that Preston won 3–1 on penalties.[88][90] Beardsley scored one further goal that month,[88] heading in Jeffrey Monakana's cross on 64 minutes as Preston came from behind to beat Yeovil Town 3–2 at home.[91] It proved to be Beardsley's last goal for five months, ending his goal drought in a 3–1 away loss to Yeovil on 12 February 2013,[88][92] in what was Westley's last match in charge of the club.[93] Beardsley made just two appearances under new manager Simon Grayson over the remainder of the season, both as a second-half substitute.[88][94] Shortly after the season ended, he was told he could leave Preston if a suitable offer was received.[95] He made 22 appearances during the 2012–13 season, scoring 3 times,[88] as Preston ranked in 14th place in League One.[96]

Return to Stevenage and third spell with Mansfield
Beardsley was reunited with Westley when re-signing for Stevenage, now playing in League Two, on 12 July 2014.[105][106] He missed the start of the 2014–15 season through injury,[107] and only made his debut on 16 September 2014 as a starter in Stevenage's 2–1 away defeat to Bury, in which he was substituted on 62 minutes.[108] Beardsley's first goal came in a 3–2 away defeat to Portsmouth on 21 October 2014,[108] after latching on to a Joe Devera back-header and scoring in the 74th minute.[109] After scoring twice in Stevenage's 5–1 home win over Cheltenham Town on 15 November 2014 he endured a five-month goal drought, his next goal coming with a close-range 89th-minute equaliser in a 2–2 draw away to Accrington on 18 April 2015.[108][110] Stevenage qualified for the play-offs with a sixth-place finish in League Two, with Southend their opponents in the semi-final.[111] Beardsley started both matches, but Stevenage were eliminated 4–2 on aggregate, ending his season on 32 appearances and 4 goals.[108] He was released by the club in May 2015, but was praised by chairman Phil Wallace, who commented that Beardsley had "proved key to Stevenage establishing itself as a Football League club under Graham Westley".[112]
He re-signed for Mansfield on 5 June 2015, starting a third spell with the League Two club.[113] His debut came after starting a 4–1 away defeat to Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup on 11 August 2015.[114] He played regularly at the start of the 2015–16 season,[114] but had a spell out of the team with a stress fracture in his shin.[115] He suffered a broken nose on his return as an 89th-minute substitute in a 3–1 away win over Barnet on 28 November 2015, and continued to struggle with his shin injury.[114][115] Beardsley's first Mansfield goal in over nine years came on 30 January 2016 with a header from Mal Benning's corner on 60 minutes in a 1–0 away victory over Crawley.[116] He finished the 2015–16 season with 16 appearances and 1 goal[114] as Mansfield ranked in 12th place in League Two.[117] He was released by the club in May 2016.[118]
