Early life

A native of Türkheim, Germany, Beigl played youth football with SV Salamander Türkheim [1] and TSV Schwabmünchen, [2] later moving to the FC Memmingen youth system in 2006, [3] from U15 through U19, before joining their senior teams. [4]

Career

FC Memmingen

Beigl made his senior debut for FC Memmingen when he was 17, staying with the senior side for seven seasons, in the German fourth tier ( Regionalliga Süd and later the Regionalliga Bayern).

TSV Landsberg

In 2016, he signed with TSV Landsberg in the fifth tier Bayernliga, [7] serving as the first-choice keeper. [8] During his time at Landsberg, he was considered a "cornerstone" of the team. [9] His contract with Landsberg expired in July 2018.

In December 2018, he attended a combine in the United States, hoping to earn a professional contract, after struggling to find a new club in Europe. [10]

New Mexico United

In 2020, Beigl joined USL Championship club New Mexico United, [11] [12] serving as the team's primary backup keeper. [13] He made his first appearance for New Mexico on 30 June 2021 in a 3–2 defeat to the Real Monarchs. [14]

El Paso Locomotive

In January 2022, he signed with USL Championship club El Paso Locomotive FC. [15] He made his debut on 5 April, in a 4–1 loss to Central Valley Fuego in the second round of the U.S. Open Cup. [16] It was announced on 18 October that he would not return for the following season after his contract expired. [17]

Personal life

Beigl met his wife Margo, while vacationing in the Dominican Republic, getting married in November 2019. [1] He has permanent residency status in the United States, qualifying him as a domestic player. [18]
