Beckford began his career at Manchester City in 1987–88, who were then a Second Division side under the stewardship of Mel Machin. City won promotion as the division’s runners-up in 1988–89, and went on to finish 14th in the First Division in 1989–90 under new boss Howard Kendall. Towards the end of the 1990–91 season, new manager Peter Reid allowed Beckford to drop down a division to play four games on loan at Don Mackay’s Blackburn Rovers. After returning from Ewood Park, he found himself out of the first team picture at Maine Road. John Rudge – who had sold his brother Darren a few months earlier – brought Beckford on loan to Port Vale in September as cover for the injured Keith Houchen. He claimed a goal in a 2–1 win over Grimsby Town at Blundell Park on 12 October, before leaving Vale Park after five Second Division appearances. He moved on to Birmingham City in the 1991–92 season for a £50,000 fee, though would never force himself into manager Terry Cooper’s first team plans. He scored the “Blues” consolation goal in a 2–1 defeat to Stoke City at the Victoria Ground on 4 January, but started just two league games as Birmingham won promotion as runners-up of the Third Division. He started three games in the 1992–93 campaign, and claimed a goal at St Andrew’s in a 2–0 win over Southend United on 1 September. Beckford’s only appearances in the 1993–94 season came at Gigg Lane in a three-game loan spell with Mike Walsh’s Bury. Beckford spent the first half of the 1994–95 season at Stoke City, but made just three starts for the “Potters”. He then joined Mick McCarthy’s Millwall, and played nine First Division games in the second half of the 1994–95 season. However, he left The Old Den at the end of the season, and arrived at Third Division side Northampton Town for the start of the 1995–96 campaign. He made four substitute appearances for Ian Atkins’s “Cobblers”, before announcing his retirement at Sixfields due to injury.

Beckford arrived at Mossley after coaching Bolton Wanderers’ Academy side. He was appointed assistant manager in June 2002 and, following Ally Pickering’s sudden departure in July 2003 he was appointed team manager. He led the “Lilywhites” to second place in the North West Counties League in 2003–04, which was enough to secure a place in the Northern Premier League. A seventh- place finish in 2004–05 saw Mossley miss out on the Division One play-offs by a three-point margin, before they won the league in 2005–06. However they could not survive in the Premier Division, and Beckford left the club after relegation in 2006–07.
