Born in Costa Rica, Beckford made his debut for the Carolina Railhawks of the North American Soccer League on June 29, 2013 against the Atlanta Silverbacks in which he came on in the 88th minute for César Elizondo as Carolina drew the match 1âÂÂ1. Just before his debut however, Beckford had already drawn a red card on June 8, 2013 in the Railhawks 2âÂÂ1 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.
Beckford has represented his country at the under-17 for Costa Rica during the 2011 CONCACAF U-17 Championship.
