At the end of the 2015–16 season, Boden was offered a new contract by Newport but he chose to move on to Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a three-year deal. ^[12] However, Boden was released by Inverness after his first season.

On 6 July 2017, Boden joined Wrexham on a one-year deal. ^[13] He made his debut on 5 August 2017, against former club Macclesfield Town in a 0–1 home defeat. ^[14]
