Beard re-joins to add depth and quality to an already very-strong defensive back line, having turned into a centre-back last campaign.
He made 50 starts for Shaftesbury during the 2021/22 campaign as the Rockies attempted a charge for promotion from the Wessex League - notching 14 goals.
This term, Beard has scored 5 goals from his centre-half position this year so far and is always a constant threat at set-pieces after netting against Bashley twice last season from such areas.
In addition, whilst not achieving promotion with Shaftesbury last year, the former attacker did win silverware in the form of the 2022 Wessex League Cup.
Beard has also found the net on 34 occasions in 49 appearances in a Bashley shirt over two spells between 2018-2021, with a short time at Hamworthy United between those stints - scoring 9 goals in 14 matches for the Hammers.
Bashley manager Matt Tubbs told his club’s website: ''Cam is a fantastic signing for us. He will bring natural leadership qualities along with being technically good on the ball. His talent and strength will be vital in what is a physical league.'
''Cam is also familiar with the club and the group of players that we have so he will have no problems fitting in''.
