Club career

Beasant was born in Denham, Buckinghamshire.[1] After 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. 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]

Personal life

Beasant is the son of former international footballer Dave Beasant, who also played as a goalkeeper.
