Club career

A relative late newcomer, Boots made his professional debut for Volendam in an August 2000 Eerste Divisie match against VVV.[1] He moved abroad a year later to play for Belgian side KV Mechelen with whom he won promotion to the Eerste Klasse but got relegated after one season in the top flight.

Boots then spent two seasons in the J2 League with Yokohama FC,[2] only to return to Volendam in 2004.[3] He retired from professional football in 2010.[4]

He returned to his former club Hollandia to play amateur football in the Topklasse.[5] In 2013 he left Hollandia for lower league side De Valken, where he started playing football as a child.[1]
