Boyomo joined Blackburn Rovers' Academy in 2016, from Toulouse FC.[2] He progressed through the club's youth setup, but left in June 2020 after failing to agree new terms.[3]

After leaving Blackburn, Boyomo moved to Spain and joined Albacete Balompié, being initially assigned to the reserves in Tercera División.[4] He made his first team debut on 26 September 2020, starting in a 0–1 away loss against CF Fuenlabrada in the Segunda División championship.[5]

Boyomo scored his first professional goal on 25 October 2020, netting the opener in a 2–1 home defeat of Rayo Vallecano.[6] On 23 December, he renewed his contract until 2024.[7]

In March 2023, he received his first call-up to the Cameroon senior national team, under head coach Rigobert Song, for both the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches against Namibia.[9][10]
