Club career

[edit]

Arsenal

[edit]

Boateng joined the youth academy of Arsenal in September 2003 and progressed through the ranks. On 20 July 2009, he made his reserves debut in a friendly against Lincoln City.[2] He signed a professional contract with Arsenal in July 2010.[3] He made his competitive first team debut for Arsenal in the League Cup against Bolton Wanderers on 25 October 2011.[4]

During the 2011–12 season, Boateng was named as captain occasionally for Arsenal's reserve side.[5] At the end of the 2013–14 season, Boateng was released by Arsenal upon expiry of his contract.[6]

Loan spells

[edit]

During summer 2011, Boateng was expected to join Swindon Town, but the move broke down.[7][8] On 21 January 2012, he then did make the move, signing on loan until the end of the 2011–12 season.[9] Boateng said he joined Swindon to play under manager Paolo Di Canio.[10] A month after signing, Boateng made his debut for the club, as Swindon won 2–1 against Hereford United on 21 February 2014.[11] After making two appearances for Swindon, he returned to Arsenal.[12]

At the commencement of the 2012–13 season, Boateng joined Oxford United on a six-month loan deal on 28 August 2012.[13] After being on the bench for the first two games, Boateng made his debut for the club, in a 4–0 loss against Burton Albion on 15 September 2012.[14] After only making two appearances for the club, manager Chris Wilder suggested Boateng needed to improve and hinted that he could end his loan spell early to free up funds.[15] In the winter transfer window, Boateng returned to Arsenal.[16]

On 31 January 2014, Boateng joined Scottish Premiership club Hibernian on loan.[17][18] Boateng stated the physicality in Scottish Football was nothing he can't handle.[19] He made his Hibs debut, coming on as a substitute for Danny Handling in the 87th minute in a 2–1 win over Ross County on 15 February 2014.[20] He would make just four appearances for the club and left at the end of the season following their relegation to the Scottish Championship.[21]

Södertälje

[edit]

On 13 August 2015, Boateng joined Swedish Football Division 1 side Södertälje FK on a contract until the end of the season.[22] On 22 August, he made his league debut, playing the whole match as his side won 3–1 against Motala AIF.[23]

Airdrieonians

[edit]

Boateng was announced as an Airdrieonians player on a one-year contract on 4 August 2016, after leaving Södertälje FK.[24] Boateng made 24 appearances for the club before being released in May 2017.[25]
