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]

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]
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]
