Mitchell Ryan Beeney (born 3 October 1995) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Crawley Town on loan from Chelsea.
Club career
Chelsea
In 2007, Beeney joined Chelsea's academy from Gillingham, along with his brother Jordan. His father is ex-professional Mark Beeney.[1]
After becoming a key member of Chelsea's under-18 squad, Beeney was promoted up to the under-21 squad. On 10 May 2015, he was named on the bench to face Liverpool, remaining unused in the 1–1 draw at Stamford Bridge.[2]
Loan to Newport County
On 15 January 2016, Beeney joined League Two side Newport County on a one-month loan deal.[3] The next day, he made his professional debut in a 1–0 victory over York City at Bootham Crescent, therefore earning a clean sheet.[4] The loan period was extended on 18 February, to 16 April.[5] However, on 25 February 2016 Beeney was released from his loan by Newport, after his partner lambasted the club on Twitter for putting him on the bench for a game against Exeter City.[6]
Loan to Crawley Town
On 23 June 2016, it was announced that Beeney would be joining League Two side Crawley Town until January 2017.[7] On 20 July 2016, it was announced that Beeney would wear the number one jersey ahead of Crawley Town's 2016–17 campaign.[8] Then later on he signed a one year extension at Chelsea. On 30 August 2016, Beeney was given his first start in a EFL Trophy tie against Colchester United, after being used as a back-up to Yusuf Mersin. The game resulted in a 1–0 victory for the Reds, with James Collins scoring the only goal.[9] On 10 September 2016, Beeney made his league debut in a 2–1 away defeat against Stevenage.[10]
