Early life

Born in Toulouse, Boyomo is Cameroonian by descent.[2][3][4] He acquired French nationality on 30 May 2003, through the collective effect of his father's naturalization.[5]

Club career

Early career

Boyomo played in the youth sector of home-town club Toulouse, before joining Blackburn Rovers' Academy in 2016.[2][3] He progressed through the English club's youth setup, but ultimately left in June 2020, after failing to agree new terms.[6]

After leaving Blackburn, in August 2020 Boyomo joined Spanish club Albacete Balompié, being initially assigned to their reserve team in Tercera División.[7] He made his first team debut on 26 September 2020, starting in a 0–1 away league loss against CF Fuenlabrada.[8]

Boyomo scored his first professional goal on 25 October 2020, netting the opener in a 2–1 home defeat of Rayo Vallecano.[9] On 23 December, he renewed his contract until 2024.[10][11]

During the 2022-23 season, he was Albacete's fourth player for total game time, having collected 39 appearances (38 of which as a starter) and one goal.[3]

Valladolid

On 7 July 2023, Boyomo joined Segunda División side Real Valladolid for a reported fee of 1.2 million euros plus add-ons,[3] signing a four-year contract with the newly relegated club.[3][12]

International career

In March 2023, Boyomo received his first call-up to the Cameroonian senior national team by head coach Rigobert Song for both the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches against Namibia.[13][14]
