Playing career
Aston Villa
He joined English football at the start of the 2004–2005 season when he joined Aston Villa's academy from the Irish club College Corinthians.[2] He found first and reserve team chances limited at Villa Park and was sent out on an initial month's loan to Conference North side Tamworth, on 23 September 2008 to gain some experience.[3]
Tamworth (loan)
Bevan made his debut for the Lambs on 27 September 2008 in the FA Cup 2nd Qualifying Round tie away at Worcester City, which ended in a 1–0 away win at St. George's Lane.[4] The loan was eventually extended for an extra month. He made twelve first team appearances in all competitions during his loan spell, this included getting a red card in the FA Cup tie with Barrow.[5] His final appearance for Tamworth came in the league in the 1–2 defeat to Alfreton Town at The Lamb Ground on 9 December.[6]
Ilkeston Town (loan)
At the start of the 2009–10 season he was sent out on loan again this time to Conference North side Ilkeston Town. His debut came on August 8 in the league away at Droylsden, where the Robins lost 2–0 at the Butcher's Arms Ground.[7] His final appearance for Ilkeston came in the league tie with Corby Town on August 19, which ended 2–2 at Rockingham Triangle.[8]
Solihull Moors (loan)
His final loan spell away from Villa Park came when he joined Conference North side Solihull Moors on a month's loan on 4 December 2009.[9] He made his debut for the Moors against Southport in a 3–0 away defeat at Haig Avenue.[10]
Walsall
His stay at Villa came to an end in the summer of 2010 when his contract expired and he was released. He was offered a contract by League One side Walsall, and completed the deal on 14 July 2010.[11] He was persuaded to sign from the recently departed Saddler and Republic of Ireland U19 team mate and goalkeeper Rene Gilmartin.[12] He made his debut for the Saddlers on January 8, 2011 in the league clash away at Tranmere Rovers, which ended in a 3–3 draw at Prenton Park.[13]
