Regardless of the scoreline, Beavan impressed during the game showing a maturity when called upon. He played one further league game during the 2007/08 season, a narrow loss to Leyton Orient.

Beavans' 2008/09 season started with a month loan to Salisbury, before playing 7 more matches for Luton Town in the first half of the 2008/09 season, a mixture of FA Cup, Football League Trophy and League matches, with the second half of his season finishing with loans to Grays Athletic. He returned to Grays Athletic for 4 months of the 2009/10 season, before returning to Luton Town, and was released at the end of the season by Richard Money.

Beavan went onto play for Fisher, Billericay Town and Tonsbridge Angels, before retiring to become a Black Cab driver.
