Mark Geoffrey Beevers (born 21 November 1989) is an English footballer who plays for Bolton Wanderers.

Career

Beevers was born in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.[1]

He was called up to the senior squad for the FA Cup third round tie with Manchester City on 7 January 2007 after impressing for the reserve team, although he was never brought off the bench. He eventually made his senior debut against Southampton on 31 January 2007 when Wednesday lost 2–1.[2]

Beevers made his first start of the 2007–08 season in a 2–0 defeat to Leicester City on 6 October 2007. Beevers replaced the injured Michael Johnson at half time, and his excellent performance earned him the man of the match award.[3] Beevers gained another chance in the first team on 6 November 2007 in an away game at West Bromwich Albion, who were flying high in the league and the highest scorers in the league. Beevers lined up alongside Richard Hinds in an inexperienced centre back pairing, however Beevers played with the temperament and quality of a player far beyond his years and helped to earn the Owls a 1–1 draw.[4]

On 28 December 2007, the Daily Mail reported that David Moyes was planning a bid for Beevers to prepare a long term replacement for David Weir and Alan Stubbs.[5] Beevers scored his first senior goal on 6 January 2008 in an FA Cup 3rd round match against Premier League side Derby County[6] which sparked more rumours he would be leaving for a bigger club.[7] On 17 January 2008 he was placed on standby for England under-19s upcoming game against Croatia on 5 February 2008.[8]

On 28 January 2008, Sheffield Wednesday announced that Beevers had signed an improved contract keeping him at the club until 2012.[9] On 3 March 2008 Beevers was announced as the winner of the third annual Wickes Young Apprentice Trophy.[10] On 23 March 2008, Beevers was called up to the England under-19s squad replacing Chelsea's Sam Hutchinson. He went on to make his debut as a second-half substitute in the 3–1 win against Russia on 25 March 2008.[11]

Beevers was voted as the club's player of the year at the end of the season by fans.[12]

On 31 August 2011, he was loaned to League One side Milton Keynes Dons. The loan ended on 31 December 2011.[13]

On 5 October 2012, he was loaned to Championship side Millwall and made his debut the day after against Bolton Wanderers in a 2–1 win. He scored a goal in Millwall's next game, a 2–2 draw with Crystal Palace on 6 October 2012, and on 6 December 2012 it was confirmed that Millwall would confirm the permanent signing of Mark Beevers on 1 January when the transfer window opens.

Before the 2014–15 season it was announced that Millwall had rejected a £100,000 bid for Beevers from newly promoted Rotherham United

On 3 July 2016, he completed a move to Bolton Wanderers on a two-year contract after expressing a desire to leave Millwall and return to the North of England.[14]
