Vitesse

After playing for some amateur sides, Vitesse Arnhem saw his talent, and enticed him to Vitesse's youth academy after some great displays in the youth team of De Graafschap.

The next season he got a place in the starting lineup for the club and scored 3 goals.^[3]

In the 2002/2003 season he almost never played (only 6 times), so he was loaned to FC Zwolle. At FC Zwolle he also played 6 games, scoring 2 goals. The next season his loan spell at FC Zwolle was extended, and Van Beukering scored 3 goals in 14 games.

De Graafschap

Van Beukering returned to his former club De Graafschap in the winter break. With 9 goals in 11 games he played an important part in De Graafschap's promotion to the Eredivisie at the end of the 2003/2004 season.
