He remained with the club until the end of the 2022–23 season but had only played for the youth team in his final two seasons. By the time he was released he had not been a part of Grimsby's first team squad since September 2020. [2]

On 23 October 2020, manager Ian Holloway revealed that a "very, very big" Scottish side had made an enquiry about Boyd and teammate Ben Grist following rumours of interest from both Chelsea and Liverpool. [6]
