While with Glasgow Warriors, Beardshaw made a few appearances with amateur club GHA.[3] He was released by Glasgow in an end-of-season clear-out in 2005. He stated: "Leaving Glasgow is a huge blow because I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the squad. I felt I had been performing pretty consistently since the home Heineken Cup clash with Toulouse - but at the end of the day there was no deal for me."[4]

He then signed for Cornish Pirates in 2005.[5] He won the EDF trophy with the Pirates in April 2007.[6] He was released at the end of 2008–09 season after suffering a knee injury.[7]

He played for a Wasps Legends team in 2013.[8]
