Club career

A right back, Boxall began his senior career at First Division club Crystal Palace and made 8 appearances during the 1995–96 and 1996–97 seasons. [3] [4] [5] He made two appearances during Palace's single-season stay in the Premier League and spent most of 1997–98 on loan at Second Division club Oldham Athletic. [6] [7] Having been hampered by an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered during his time at Selhurst Park, [8] Boxall was released by Crystal Palace in June 1998 and joined newly-relegated Third Division club Brentford on a free transfer. [3] [9] He made 46 appearances and scored one goal during the Bees' Third Division-title winning 1998–99 season. [10] [11]

A second anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in February 2000 kept Boxall out of match play until March 2002 and he made a number of late-2001–02 season appearances. [3] [12] He was released after Brentford's Second Division play-off final defeat and played the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons with Third Division club Bristol Rovers. [3] [13] After putting off a decision to retire, [8] Boxall played his subsequent career in the League of Ireland and English non-League football, [14] before retiring due to injury in 2008. [15]

International career

Owing to an Irish grandmother from Wexford, [8] Boxall qualified to represent the Republic of Ireland at international level and he won eight U21 caps in 1998 and 1999. [16]

Personal life

Boxall was born at Mayday Hospital and attended Holy Trinity Church of England Junior School and Stanley Park High School in Wallington. [17] [18] [19] He has four older brothers and an older sister.
