A youth product of Juventus, Boloca was first called-up by Juventus U23 – the reserve team of Juventus – on 10 February 2019, for a match against Arzachena.[1] Boloca was eventually called-up six times at the end of the season, without debuting.[1] Boloca was sent on loan to the under-19 teams of Bologna and Monza, in the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons respectively.[2][3]

On 25 January 2020, Boloca was called up by Siniša Mihajlović to Bologna's senior squad, for their game against SPAL; he was an unused substitute.[3] In January 2021, Juventus announced Boloca's loan to Monza had been interrupted prematurely.[4]

After being benched 21 times during the season,[1] Boloca made his professional debut for Juventus U23 on 24 April 2022, as a starter in a Serie C game against Legnago Salus, helping his side win 3–2.[5]

In 2022, he joined Serie D club Seregno.[6] After spending the first half of the 2023–24 season with fellow Serie D club Albenga, Boloca was signed by Serie B club Ternana in January 2024.[7]

On 30 August 2024, Boloca moved to AlbinoLeffe in Serie C.[8]
