Career
Beasley began his professional career in 1998, as a member Major League Soccer's Project-40, directly out of High School (South Side High School). He became a member of the New England Revolution. At the time, Beasley was the youngest player to sign with MLS, a record since broken many times over.
After being traded to the Chicago Fire, Beasley was a regular during the 2001 season alongside his brother. He would score a crucial tying goal for Chicago against Dallas in the second game of a quarterfinal playoff series that
After returning to MLS in 2010 with the Kansas City Wizards, Beasley was signed on November 11, 2010 (just one day before the 2010–2011 season) by the
Beasley then joined the newly reformed Wichita Wings for their 2011-2012 expansion season, where he would go on to finish as their top goal scorer with 22 goals in 24 games played. However, this would begin a journeyman phase of his career, as he would leave Wichita after just one season.
Beasley was picked up by the Ontario Fury for the second half of the 2014–2015 season and enjoyed a career resurgence, with his final professional hat-trick and final MASL Team of the Week nod, en route to the playoffs, where he would score two goals in a first-round loss to the Las Vegas Legends.
After moving to the Tacoma Stars for 2015-2016 and seeing diminished playing time, Beasley would sign for the 2016-2017 Cedar Rapids Rampage in their second year in the MASL. Having rotated in and out of the squad, Beasley would score a goal in his final professional appearance, the first goal in a 6–3 win at the St. Louis Ambush on December 18, 2016. He was an unused substitute on December 31, 2016, before being released and retiring at the end of the season.
