December 4 1983 ) is a Welsh footballer, currently playing for Lincoln City in the English League Two.Playing career
Before joining Lincoln he played for Ipswich Town and local rivals Boston United.
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.
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 scrutinized 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 Peter Jackson, and his form in various positions on the pitch has meant that he has been an ever present in the squad.
Most notably it was reported in December of last year, Beevers was subject of interest from Arsenal, although these claims were never verified by either club, an Arsenal scout has been reported to have watched him several times including a reserve game in early January.
