Club career

Bury

Bedeau is a product of the Leyton Orient and Bury football academies, after impressing at a young age for Bury, debuting at sixteen. Bedeau was given his professional debut by caretaker-manager Chris Brass at the age of 16 in a League One tie against Millwall, in which Bury suffered a 3–2 defeat. [3] After appearing on the Bury bench several times, Bedeau was given his next start in a 4–2 defeat against Bristol Rovers. [4] He played a total of seven games for Bury.

Aston Villa

On 31 January 2017, Bedeau joined Championship club Aston Villa on a two-and-a-half-year deal for a fee around the margin of £900,000. [5] Bedeau did not make any first team appearances in competitive games for Aston Villa, but was a main stay of the Under-23 squad, with 42 appearances, excluding cup matches. In his first full season with the 23s (2017–18) they won the Premier League Cup and finished runners up in the league. [6] In one of his last appearances, he captained the squad to a 5–1 victory over Manchester United U23s. [7]

Scunthorpe United

On 31 January 2019, Bedeau joined League One side Scunthorpe United. [8] He started sparingly, making his debut in September 2019 in a 1–1 draw against Leicester City U21s, in the Football League Trophy. [9] He started only two more games that calendar year, against Sunderland (in the Football League Trophy); [10] and Walsall (in League Two). [11] However, he became a regular starter by the end of the 2019–20 season and into the 2020–21 season. He scored his first professional goal in a 2–2 draw against Crewe Alexandra. [12] He scored again in a 2–0 win against Oldham Athletic. [13] He made a total of 53 appearances for Scunthorpe, 45 of them being in the league. He was one of 17 players released by Scunthorpe at the end of the 2020–21 season. [14]

Burnley

Morecambe

On 4 January 2022, Bedeau joined EFL League One side Morecambe on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season. [16] He started Morecambe's next game, which was a FA Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur. Bedeau managed to keep a clean sheet, but came off after 65 minutes. [17] Morecambe eventually lost 3–1. [18] On 9 August 2022, Bedeau made his loan move to Morecambe permanent for an undisclosed fee. [19]
