WARRINGTON Town have moved to strengthen their striking options by signing Mark Beesley from Nantwich Town, initially on a month’s loan deal.
The 31-year-old striker started his career at Preston North End, signing a professional contract in June 1999.
He subsequently spent three and a half seasons at Chester City scoring 16 times in the 2001–02 season to help Chester avoid relegation from the Football Conference. After a spell out on loan at Southport, Beesley was allowed to join Chester’s title rivals Hereford United in December 2003.
He joined Forest Green Rovers in June 2004 where he was initially unlucky with injuries, missing nearly an entire season with a knee injury. In August 2006 he returned to the north west for a loan spell with Lancaster City, before returning to Forest Green, where he struck up a strong partnership with the prolific Stuart Fleetwood.
He signed for Cambridge United in January 2008 for a five-figure fee but never really enjoyed the form he had in his later stages at Forest Green.
He signed for newly-promoted Conference National side Fleetwood Town in July 2010.
In July 2011, Beesley signed for his home town town club Burscough, scoring 13 times before moving on to Hednesford Town in January this year and then Nantwich in the summer.
He scored in the opening league game of the season in the 5-0 win at Matlock.
Beesley is expected to be included in the squad which travels to Ramsbottom tonight.
Meanwhile Warrington have parted company with young winger Liam Shipton by mutual consent.
