Career
At the age of 15, he made his debut and scored his first goal in the EFL Trophy tie against Harrogate Town on 8 September 2020, breaking two club records for the youngest appearance holder and youngest goal-scorer.[2]
On 12 September 2020, Boyd made his league debut as he came on as a 70th-minute substitute for Danny Rose in a 1–0 away defeat against Walsall.[3] On 19 September 2020, Boyd was an unused substitute in Grimsby's 4–0 home defeat to Salford City which would be his final inclusion in a first team squad during the 2020–21 season.[4]
On 23 October 2020, manager Ian Holloway revealed that a "very, very big" Scottish side had made an enquiry about Boyd and teammate Ben Grist following rumours of interest from both Chelsea and Liverpool.[5]
For the 2021–22 season, Boyd was not handed a first team squad number and was continuing to feature for the club's youth team.[6] For the 2022–23 season Boyd once more was continuing to play for Grimsby's youth team.[7]
