Career
A versatile defensive midfielder, Beaumont made the breakthrough into the first team during the 1983-1984 season, but found it hard to get a regular spot in a defence with a back four of Malpas, Gough, Hegarty and Narey. He was used as cover for all four, and appeared as a defensive midfielder occasionally over the next couple of seasons. Beaumont left for Luton Town midway through the 1988-1989 season, for whom he appeared in the 1989 Littlewoods Cup Final.
He returned to with Hibernian in October 1991.
Weeks later, he was an unused substitute as they beat Dunfermline Athletic in the Skol Cup Final. Injuries hampered him after this, however, and he was forced to quit the senior game in 1994.
Beaumont is now a police officer in Fife, playing for the Scottish Police team
