Career
Ipswich Town
Beevers was spotted by
Boston United
On 9 June 2003, Beevers agreed a one-year contract to join Boston United on a full-time basis.[10] His performances at Boston earned him numerous awards whilst at the club, and also got the attention of the Welsh national team, where he has represented his country at Under-21 level.
Beevers can play anywhere along the defensive line, however, his most adept position is right-back. Beevers has also demonstrated that he is capable of playing as a right-sided wing-back and in front of the defensive line as both a defensive midfielder and a central midfielder too.
Lincoln City
His solid performances at Lincoln have earned him a lot of respect amongst the fans, as his performances at Boston did for their fans. In the 2005–06 season, he played a very vital role in the team, however, due to the teams tactical system back then, he sometimes got scrutinised for mistakes and was often the scapegoat when things weren't going too well. Thus far in the 2006–07 season, he has adapted very well to the new tactical system employed by new Head Coach
Colchester United
On 24 June 2009 he agreed to join
Despite starting the first few games relatively brightly for
Beevers started pre season in a new holding midfield role where he impressed enough to earn himself a sub appearance at Exeter. Despite making a handful of appearances, mainly from the bench, in 2010–11, he was released from his contract on 10 May 2011 and the U's continued shaping their squad for the new season.
Walsall
Beevers signed a one-year contract with Walsall on 14 July 2011.[12]
Mansfield Town
After one season with Walsall, Beevers signed for Mansfield Town on a one-year contract.
Return to Lincoln City
On 14 May 2015 Beevers returned to
Later career
After temporarily retiring from the professional game, Beevers signed for Gainsborough Trinity on 5 January 2018, having been training with the club since the summer of 2017.[18] After just one appearance with Trinity, Beevers joined Alfreton Town as a player/first team coach.[19][20]
In July 2018, Beevers signed for King's Lynn Town as player/assistant manager.[21] He signed for Matlock Town in September 2018.[22]
