Club career

Central Coast Mariners

Beach was benched in two league matches with the Central Coast Mariners in January 2022 and joined the roster for the 2021 FFA Cup final,^[3] but did not make an appearance during his stint with the club.

Melbourne City

Beach signed for Melbourne City on 23 June 2023 on a three-year deal, and was benched for the entire 2023–24 A-League Men campaign.^[4] In the next season in 2024–25, he made his professional debut with Melbourne City on 19 October 2024 starting and keeping a clean sheet against the Newcastle Jets in a 1–0 win.^[5] Manager Aurelio Vidmar explained the decision to start Beach ahead of regular goalkeeper Jamie Young by saying that it was the time to give the younger player the opportunity.^[6] A week later, he retained his place for the Melbourne Derby against Melbourne Victory, and gave the ball away to Ryan Teague who scored the final goal of a 3–1 home loss.^[7]

On 15 December 2024, against Auckland FC at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, Beach conceded an equaliser in the fifth minute of added time when he let Neyder Moreno's free kick through his hands, but his team nonetheless ended the six-game winning run of the new club from New Zealand.^[8][9] Beach played every minute of the season, leading to Young retiring in February 2025.^[10]

International career

Beach was called up to represent the Australia U23 at the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup donning caps in all three group games. He was then called up to the Australia U23s for the PacificAus Sports Football Series in October 2024.^[11]
