Jake Elliott Beesley (born 2 December 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League One club Burton Albion.

He began his career at Chesterfield, progressing through the youth ranks and making his first-team debut in 2014. After seven Football League appearances over three years, partly spent on loan at Shaw Lane, he joined Salford City in 2017. After loan spells at Boston United and Bradford Park Avenue, he was loaned to Solihull Moors before joining on a permanent basis in 2020. His stay there was short, with Rochdale signing him for an undisclosed fee the same year. He joined Championship club Blackpool in January 2022.

Career

Beesley made his professional debut for Chesterfield on 2 September 2014 in a Football League Trophy match against Scunthorpe United, after coming off the bench to replace Charlie Dawes in the 74th minute.[3]

Beesley signed on loan for Shaw Lane in October 2016 for a month.[4] He made his début against Loughborough Dynamo on 16 October in a 3–0.[5] At the end of his loan spell, Shaw Lane manager Craig Elliott praised Beesley, saying he had earned the chance to play in the Chesterfield first team with his performances.[6] He made his league debut on 19 November 2016, in a 2–1 defeat to Fleetwood Town.[7]

In October 2019, having failed to make an appearance in six consecutive games, he joined Solihull Moors on loan until January 2020.[18] On 8 October, Beesley scored on his Solihull début, opening the scoring in the 20th minute of a 2–0 win against Sutton United.[19]
