Mickleover Football Club can confirm that Stuart Beavon has departed the club following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.
Beavon, who was offered an extension to remain with the club in a more prominent coaching role, has made the decision to move on in search of increased game time – a choice that everyone at Mickleover fully respects.
Manager Gareth Holmes said:
Bev and I have spoken over the summer, and it’s clear to see that he still has a real desire to play as much as he can. Bev has been great for the club and for me. I respect his decision and him and his family will always be welcome at the club.
Initially joining on loan from Nuneaton Borough before making his move permanent in 2020, Beavon made an immediate impact. He announced himself with 10 goals in his first season, quickly becoming a firm favourite among supporters. Over the years, he has delivered many memorable moments in a Mickleover shirt. From his goalscoring contributions to helping drive the team to a play-off semi-final. One moment, in particular, will live long in the memory – his outstanding goals against Oldham Athletic in the FA Trophy, goals that are etched firmly into the club’s recent history. Across an outstanding career spanning both the Football League and non-league game, Beavon has consistently demonstrated quality, intelligence, and a relentless work ethic.
Everyone at Mickleover Football Club would like to place on record their sincere thanks to Stuart for his outstanding contribution and wish him every success in the next chapter of his career.
