Career
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. Beasant was released by Cambridge United at the end of the 2015/16 season.

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. After a one-year spell with the Clarets, Beasant made the switch to fellow National League South side Concord Rangers.

After spending the 2019–20 campaign with Hemel Hempstead Town, Beasant joined Chesham United in September 2020.

On 2 June 2023, it was announced Beasant would join Beaconsfield Town ahead of the 2023–24 campaign, following three years at Chesham. He joined Hanwell Town in October 2023. At the end of the 2023/24 season Beasant won the player's player of the year award and supporters player of the year award.
