[16] On Boxing Day, Beesley scored a hat-trick against Guiseley in a 5–1 win to keep Bradford (Park Avenue) top of the table. [17]

In October 2019, having failed to make an appearance in six consecutive games, he joined Solihull Moors on loan until January 2020. [18] On 8 October, Beesley scored on his Solihull début, opening the scoring in the 20th minute of a 2–0 win against Sutton United. [19]
