Bedford moved six places up the world ranking list to No 66 after a solid 2009/10 season.
His best run came in the Roewe Shanghai Masters, as he beat David Hogan, Liu Song and Ian McCulloch to reached the last 48, before being denied a trip to China by Barry Hawkins.
He was unable to match that in the remainder of the season, but did enough to keep his place on the circuit.
In 2008 he reached the last 32 of the Grand Prix, edging past Mark Williams 5-4 before losing 5-1 to Peter Ebdon.
Bedford regained a place on the pro Tour by finishing third in the 2007/08 Pontin’s International Open Series rankings. The Yorkshireman won the opening tournament of the campaign, beating Gary Wilkinson 6-3 in the final.
Bedford, who achieved his highest world ranking of 63 in 2005/06, won nine matches at three different venues to qualify for the televised stages of the 1998 World Championship - booking his place at the Crucible with a 10-9 defeat of Gary Wilkinson. He lost to six-times champion Steve Davis in the first round proper.
