Club career

Beith joined Heart of Midlothian aged 9.[1] He was first included in a matchday squad for Heart of Midlothian on 31 August 2013, remaining an unused substitute for their 2–0 defeat away to Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Scottish Premiership.[2] He featured on the substitutes' bench in 12 more games that season, without entering the field,[3] in a campaign which ended in relegation from the top flight.[4] He made his debut on 20 August 2014, in the second round of the Scottish Challenge Cup away to Livingston, playing 85 minutes of a 4–1 loss before being replaced by fellow debutant Sean McKirdy.[5]

On 25 March 2016, Beith joined Stenhousemuir on an emergency loan.[13] Beith returned to Stirling in October 2016 on a month loan,[14] making his first appearance against league opponents Clyde.[15]
