Sheffield Wednesday

Beevers was born in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. [2] He came through the youth system at South Yorkshire club Sheffield Wednesday and was called up to the senior squad for the FA Cup third round tie with Manchester City on 7 January 2007 after impressing for the reserve team, although he was never brought off the bench. He eventually made his senior debut against Southampton on 31 January 2007 when Wednesday lost 2–1. [3]

Beevers made his first start of the 2007–08 season in a 2–0 defeat to Leicester City on 6 October 2007. Beevers replaced the injured Michael Johnson at half time, and his excellent performance earned him the man of the match award. [4] Beevers gained another chance in the first team on 6 November 2007 in an away game at West Bromwich Albion, who were flying high in the league and the highest scorers in the league. Beevers lined up alongside Richard Hinds in an inexperienced centre back pairing, however Beevers played with the temperament and quality of a player far beyond his years and helped to earn the Owls a 1–1 draw. [5]

Beevers scored his first senior goal on 6 January 2008 in an FA Cup 3rd round match against Premier League side Derby County [6] which sparked more rumours he would be leaving for a bigger club. [7] On 17 January 2008 he was placed on standby for England under-19s upcoming game against Croatia on 5 February 2008. [8]

On 28 January 2008, Sheffield Wednesday announced that Beevers had signed an improved contract keeping him at the club until 2012. [9] On 3 March 2008 Beevers was announced as the winner of the third annual Wickes Young Apprentice Trophy at the Football League Awards. [10]
