Beresford again failed to make a significant breakthrough at Middlesbrough in 2000-01 and received his only senior action when he came on from the subs bench in the home game against Arsenal in November after Mark Crossley had been sent off.

Later in the season, he returned to his first professional club Sheffield Wednesday to cover for an injury crisis, but the Owls lost all four games that he appeared in and there was no attempt to pursue a permanent move.

Beresford is a competent shot stopper with excellent distribution.

He joined York City in August 2002 on a short-term contract to cover for the injured Alan Fettis before returning to Burnley on a monthly contract.

He also joined Bradford City in September 2003 on a one-month contract before moving onto Luton Town in another short-term deal.

He joined Barnsley in January 2004 with a contract to June 2005.

However, he returned to Luton Town in June 2004 on a monthly basis.

Beresford's contract at Luton was extended to June 2009 in February 2007 but was made available for transfer in May 2008.
