Just before his debut however, Beckford had already drawn a red card on June 8, 2013 in the Railhawks 2–1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rowdies in which he was red carded in the 96th minute, along with Tampa Bay player, Shane Hill, despite not coming off the bench in that game after there was a mini-brawl on the pitch when the match ended.

In June 2014, Beckford joined Limón.
