Club career

Youth career: Brentford and Manchester United

After beginning his youth career at the Evolution Sports & Health Academy in London, Bohui entered the youth system at Brentford in 2011. [4] He progressed through the youth ranks and was part of the U15 team which won the Junior Globe at the 2014 Milk Cup. [5] He made his youth team debut during the 2014–15 season and scored two goals in 12 appearances. [6] Bohui signed a scholarship deal at the end of the 2014–15 season and scored nine goals in 22 appearances for the youth team during the 2015–16 season. [7] He also broke into the Development Squad, making 13 appearances and scoring one goal. [8] Due to the closure of the Brentford academy at the end of the 2015–16 season, [9] Bohui had his contract terminated by mutual consent on 28 July 2016. [10]

On 7 August 2016, Bohui joined the academy at Manchester United on a three-year contract. [11] He progressed through the U18 team to the club's U23 team, but he twice rejected a new four-year contract and was released when his contract expired at the end of the 2018–19 season. [12] [13]

NAC Breda

On 5 July 2019, Bohui moved to the Netherlands to join Eerste Divisie club NAC Breda on a two-year contract, with the option of two further years. [14] A knee injury suffered that same month kept him out until November 2019 and he made four appearances before the 2019–20 season was ended early. [15] [16] [17] Bohui was transfer-listed in June 2020, [18] but he began the 2020–21 season with four appearances and one goal, [15] prior to his contract being terminated by mutual consent on 5 October 2020. [19]

Colchester United

On 10 October 2020, Bohui returned to England to sign a contract with League Two club Colchester United on a free transfer. [20] He made 13 appearances before being dropped from manager Steve Ball's matchday squads in mid-January 2021. [21] [22] Bohui returned to the substitutes' bench in late April and scored his first goal for the club on his first appearance for nearly five months, [15] with the only goal of the game versus Salford City on 1 May, [21] which secured the Us' League Two status. [23] He finished the season with 15 appearances and one goal and was released when his contract expired. [21] [24]

Non-League football

In September 2021, Bohui transferred to Southern League First Division Central club Waltham Abbey. [25] He made a single first team appearance and transferred to Southern League Premier Division South club Hayes & Yeading United on 23 November 2021. [25] [26] He made just two appearances in five weeks with Hayes & Yeading United and departed to join Isthmian League Premier Division club Leatherhead in January 2022. [26] [27] Following four appearances and a friendly appearance on trial for League of Ireland Premier Division club Sligo Rovers in February 2022, [28] [29] Bohui made a single appearance for Southern League Premier Division South club Chesham United in March 2022. [26]

Bohui began the 2022–23 season with Southern Combination League First Division club Dorking Wanderers B. [30] After scoring five goals in nine appearances, [30] he transferred to National League South club Cheshunt on 7 October 2022. [31] After making just one appearance, [15] Bohui transferred to Isthmian League South East Division club Sevenoaks Town later that month. [32] He finished the season with 14 appearances and one goal, but did not appear past mid-January 2023. [33]

In March 2024, Bohui joined Finnish Veikkausliiga club TPS on trial. [34]
