Mark Beesley (born December 5, 1980 in Burscough) is a professional footballer for Cambridge United. He wears the number 18 and plays as a centre-forward.
He began his career at Preston North End before spending three and a half seasons at Chester. Beesley scored 16 times in 2001-02 to help Chester avoid relegation from the Nationwide Conference, but by the start of the 2003-04 he was out of favour with manager Mark Wright. After a spell out on loan at Southport, Beesley was surprisingly allowed to join Chester's title rivals Hereford United in December 2003.
Beesley made 15 appearances for the Bulls, scoring in Hereford's record-equalling 9-0 win over Dagenham, and against his former club in the 2-1 win over Chester. However, by this point Chester had sealed the Conference title at Hereford's expense and Beesley was to lose out in the play-offs to Aldershot Town.
He joined Forest Green on June 8, 2004 where he has been unlucky with injuries, missing nearly an entire season with a knee injury. In August 2006 he returned to the North West when he began a loan spell with Lancaster City. Beesley has since settled back at Forest Green, where he has struck up a potent partnership with the prolific Stuart Fleetwood.
He signed for Cambridge United in January 2008, and has since formed a partnership with Lee Mcevilly
