A versatile defensive midfielder, Beaumont made the breakthrough into the first team during the 1983/84 season, but found it hard to get a regular spot in a defence with a back four of Malpas, Gough, Hegarty and Narey, although he was used as cover for all four, and appeared as a defensive midfielder occasionally over the next couple of seasons. Beaumont spent nearly half of the 1986/87 season in the starting eleven, his best run in the first team, making 40 appearances, and played in 6 matches of United's UEFA Cup run that season, including an appearance as substitute for Paul Sturrock in the 1st Leg of the Final in Gothenburg. Scored at Ibrox on two occasions, once in a 1-1 draw in the opening game of the 1987/88 season, and again in a 1-0 victory the following season, and was having his best season at Tannadice when he left for Luton Town midway through the 1988/89 season.
