Nigel Boogaard (/ˈnaɪdʒəl ˈboʊɡɑːrd/; born 14 August 1986) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for A-League club the Newcastle Jets.

Club career

Central Coast Mariners

Coming from the Weston Workers Bears, Boogaard has had a rollercoaster career. He scored his first A-League goal for the Mariners in a match against bitter rivals Newcastle Jets on 14 August 2009 (also his 23rd birthday). It was a miscued header off the shoulder after poor defending and the keeper dropped it over the line.

Adelaide United

Boogaard signed with Adelaide United on 6 November 2009 and joined them for their upcoming AFC Champions League campaign.[1][2]

On 8 May 2012, it was announced that Boogaard had signed for a further two years with Adelaide United.[3]

On 20 July 2013, Boogaard started for the A-League All Stars in the inaugural A-League All Stars Game against Manchester United, a match in which the A-League All Stars were thrashed 5-1, courtesy of goals from Danny Welbeck, Jesse Lingard and Robin van Persie. Boogaard, along with Brisbane Roar forward Besart Berisha, were the only players to play out the full match.

Newcastle Jets

Boogaard signed a three-year deal with his hometown club, the Newcastle Jets, on 16 February 2015.
