Career
Boniface signed for Glimt from Real Sapphire on 4 March 2019.[2] He suffered a ligament injury only two weeks after signing for Glimt, which was said to be likely to keep him on the sidelines for the duration of the 2019 season.[3] Boniface was selected to the Nigeria U-20 squad to play the 2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, but had to withdraw from the squad due to injury.[4] In September 2019 he nonetheless made his league debut for Bodø/Glimt.[5]
On 8 August 2022, Boniface signed a four-year contract with Union SG in Belgium.[6]
