Beswetherick was first choice at left back for Plymouth Argyle in 2000-01 when he made more first team appearances than any other player at the club.
He is tenacious in the tackle and is effective pushing forward down the left flank from where he delivers dangerous crosses that often lead to goal-scoring opportunities.
Beswetherick decided to turn down the offer of a new contract in May 2002 and joined Sheffield Wednesday but was made available for transfer by new Owls boss Chris Turner in February 2003, and granted a free transfer in September 2003.
Beswetherick joined Bristol Rovers in July 2004 with a three-month contract before moving to Kidderminster Harriers on non-contract terms.
