A spring clip for use with a cable eyelet, a cable assembly incorporating the spring clip and a method of using the spring clip to bias a cable attached to the cable eyelet toward a fastener extending outwardly from a structure. The fastener is received through an aperture in the cable eyelet. The cable eyelet is itself secured to an end of the cable. The cable eyelet, defines an aperture therein and the aperture receives the fastener therethrough. The spring clip includes a first region that is securable to the cable eyelet and a second region extending outwardly from the first region in a direction opposite to the cable. The hook-shaped second region is configured to engage the head of the fastener and to bias the cable toward the fastener thus reducing the tendency of the cable to appear slack.
