Club career

[edit]

Swansea City

[edit]

De Boer played youth football for FC Volendam, Ajax and Swansea City. He made his professional debut for Swansea's first team in a 3–1 home win over Northampton Town at Liberty Stadium in the EFL Cup. De Boer replaced Yan Dhanda in the 90th minute.[2]

ADO Den Haag

[edit]

On 2 June 2020, De Boer signed a two-year contract with Eredivisie club ADO Den Haag, after his contract with Swansea had expired.[3] He made his ADO league debut on 13 September 2020 in a 2–0 away loss to Heracles Almelo.[4]

After a disastrous season, in which ADO finished bottom of the league and suffered relegation to the Eerste Divisie, De Boer exercised a relegation option in his contract to leave the club as a free agent.[5]

VVV-Venlo

[edit]

De Boer joined VVV-Venlo, who had suffered relegation alongside ADO, on 6 July 2021, signing a two-year contract with an option for an additional season.[6] He was in the starting lineup on his debut for the club, a 2–2 home draw on the opening day of the 2021–22 season.[7]

De Boer left VVV at the end of the 2022–23 season, as his contract was not extended.[8]

Ternana

[edit]

On 15 September 2023, De Boer officially joined Italian side Ternana on a free transfer, signing a one-year contract with the club, with an option for another season.[9][10]

International career

[edit]

De Boer is a Netherlands youth international, having gained two caps at under-15 level. On 10 February 2015, he made his debut for the Netherlands U15 in a 1–1 friendly draw against Serbia U15, providing the assist for Jurgen Ekkelenkamp's equalizer from his corner kick.[11]
