Fred Rutten
On 6 June 2016, it was announced Boymans had signed with Al Shabab. He scored twice in his first six league matches. In November 2016, in a match against Dibba Al-Fujairah Club, he swallowed his tongue after colliding with the opponent goalkeeper. Scans at the hospital found moisture in his head which kept Boymans out of action. After a run of poor results, Dutch coach Fred Rutten resigned. In the 2016–17 summer transfer window, Al Shabab signed an African forward who was registered as one of four foreigners allowed per club while Boymans was the fifth foreigner and unable to play. In June 2017, he trained with former club FC Utrecht.
