Career

Born in Sint-Truiden,[3] Boffin began his career with the youth team of Racing Genk, before moving to Dutch team PSV in 2005. Boffin never made a senior appearance for PSV, and began his professional career on loan at FC Eindhoven during the 2007-08 season. Boffin moved to MVV Maastricht in 2008, and spent the second half of the 2009-10 season on loan at VVV-Venlo. Boffin made a total of 86 League appearances in Dutch football.[4]

Boffin signed for English team West Ham United on 1 September 2010, on a two-year deal, alongside fellow new signing Lars Jacobsen.[5][6] Boffin signed for an undisclosed nominal fee following a trial for the club, and was announced as cover for Robert Green.[7] Boffin made his West Ham debut on 18 December 2010, in the 1-1 Premier League draw against Blackburn Rovers.[8] In April 2012 having found his playing opportunities infrequent due to the form of Robert Green and the signing of Stephen Henderson, Boffin's contract was cancelled by mutual consent.[9] Boffin made one League and two Cup appearances for West Ham.[10]

In May 2012, he signed for Turkish club Eskişehirspor.[11]
