Beauguel played for Toulouse in France. Although he didn't play in any league matches,[1] he scored in a Coupe de la Ligue match against Nice on 31 August 2011.[2] He later headed to the Netherlands, where he played for RKC Waalwijk, but left after the club was relegated from the Eredivisie at the end of the 2013–14 season.[3]
Beauguel trialled with Czech club Dukla Prague in July 2014, scoring four goals in a half-hour section of a friendly match in a pre-season friendly versus Varnsdorf.[4] A week later he signed a three-year contract with Dukla.[5] Beauguel scored seven goals in the first half of the 2014–15 Czech First League.[6] Having scored nine goals in 61 games for Dukla over the course of two and a half seasons, Beauguel signed for First League side Fastav Zlín in January 2017.[7]
In November 2018, with his Zlín contract due to expire in less than two months, he signed a pre-contract agreement with Viktoria Plzeň.[8] On 8 December, he did not appear for Zlín in their Czech First League match against Plzeň, having asked Zlín coach Michal Bílek not to select him for the match.[9] This stirred controversy in the media, with news outlet iSport reporting that Viktoria Plzeň allegedly pressured the player to skip the match.[10] Zlín lost the match 2–0.[11]
On 17 June 2022, Beauguel joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Wehda.[12]
