[edit] Career
Born in Reading, Berkshire, Beavon was playing Hellenic League football for Ardley United as a 16 year old when he was transferred to Combined Counties side Wallingford in 2004.
Beavon, along with a number of his Wallingford team-mates, transferred to local rivals Didcot Town for the start of season 2004-2005 and it was during his time with the Railwaymen that he began to attract the attention of numerous professional clubs.
He scored two goals in Didcot’s FA Vase triumph at White Hart Lane against AFC Sudbury in May 2005.
He scored 40 goals the following season as Didcot lifted the Hellenic League Premier Division title.
His fine form continued in the Southern League South & West Division and in January 2007 he was signed by Conference Weymouth on a free transfer. Beavon (nickname the 'Beaver') became a big fans favourite at Weymouth.
Beavon signed for League Two team Wycombe Wanderers on loan until the end of the 2008–09 season on 19 February 2009, with the option of him signing permanently at the end of the season.[2] Wycombe took this option up after their promotion to League One, and Beavon scored his first goal for the club in his first league start as part of a 1–1 away draw with Hartlepool United.
[edit] Personal life
He is the son of former Reading midfielder Stuart Beavon, and grandson of former Oxford United defender Cyril Beavon.
