Ruud Jorge Boffin (born 5 November 1987) is a Belgian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Turkish club Antalyaspor.[3]

Career

Born in Sint-Truiden,[4] Boffin began his career with the youth team of Racing Genk, before moving to Dutch team PSV in 2005. Boffin never made a senior appearance for PSV, and began his professional career on loan at FC Eindhoven during the 2007-08 season. Boffin moved to MVV Maastricht in 2008, and spent the second half of the 2009-10 season on loan at VVV-Venlo. Boffin made a total of 86 League appearances in Dutch football.[5]

Boffin signed for English team West Ham United on 1 September 2010, on a two-year deal, alongside fellow new signing Lars Jacobsen.[6][7] Boffin signed for an undisclosed nominal fee following a trial for the club, and was announced as cover for Robert Green.[8] Boffin made his West Ham debut on 18 December 2010, in the 1-1 Premier League draw against Blackburn Rovers.[9] In April 2012 having found his playing opportunities infrequent due to the form of Robert Green and the signing of Stephen Henderson, Boffin's contract was cancelled by mutual consent.[10] Boffin made one League and two Cup appearances for West Ham.[11]

In May 2012, he signed for Turkish club Eskişehirspor.[12] On 25 September 2016, he scored a goal by a direct free-kick from his own half at TFF First League game against Ümraniyespor, which ended 2–0.[13]
