Born in Burscough , Lancashire , Beesley began his career at the youth system of Preston North End before signing a professional contract on 26 June 1999 . He subsequently spent three and a half seasons at Chester City . Beesley scored 16 times in the 2001–02 season to help Chester avoid relegation from the Football Conference , but by the start of the 2003–04 he was out of favour with manager Mark Wright . After a spell out on loan at Southport , Beesley was allowed to join Chesters title rivals Hereford United in December 2003 . Beesley made 15 appearances for the club , scoring in Herefords record-equalling 9–0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge , and against his former club in the 2–1 win over Chester . However , by this point Chester had sealed the Football Conference title at Herefords expense and Beesley was to lose out in the play-offs to Aldershot Town .

In August 2006 he returned to the north-west for a loan spell with Lancaster City , before returning to Forest Green , where he struck up a strong partnership with the prolific Stuart Fleetwood . He signed for Cambridge United in January 2008 for a five-figure fee but never really enjoyed the form he had in his later stages at Forest Green . He was loaned to Chester City and AFC Telford United before being released by Cambridge manager Martin Ling at the end of the 2009–10 season .

Beesley returned to Fleetwood early on 1 November after York manager Gary Mills decided to cut his loan short . He then joined Altrincham on loan until 3 January 2011 on 26 November and he made his debut a day later in a 4–0 defeat at Cambridge . After his loan spell expired , he signed permanently for Altrincham but was released at the end of the season . In July 2011 , Beesley signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division side Burscough , in his home town . He moved to promotion challenging Hednesford Town on 6 January 2012 . He ended the 2011–12 season with Hednesford but left the club at the end of the season . In June 2012 , Beesley signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division outfit Nantwich Town .

In his next match , he scored his first goal for the club , as they beat Harrogate Railway Athletic 4–0 at home . In February 2013 , Beesley was released by Nantwich and later that month signed for Northern Premier League Division One North side Skelmersdale United . He left a few weeks later to join West Lancashire Football League Division One club Burscough Richmond in late February 2013 . Coaching .
