Mario Boye

Career
Boye worked his way through Dutch side, Vitesse's youth system and gained his professional contract in the 28/29 season. He was loaned out to Sparta Rotterdam where he played well, scoring 3 and assisting 1 in only 11 games. The next year saw him go out on loan again to another Dutch team, ADO Den Haag. Here he had a very impressive season, getting 20 goals and 5 assists in just 37 appearances, he was one to watch for the future. Ireland noticed his performance in the lower Dutch divisions and placed a £11.25 Million offer (a club record at the time) for the talented youngster). He made the move to Gateshead for the 30/31 season and became a very useful player for the club. In his first season he scored 4 goals and gained 2 assists over 24 games in the Premiership. This helped the team reach 6th in their first ever appearance in the 1st Division, which in turn made them qualify for Europa League football the next year. Unfortunately he didn't end up playing as much during the next season (18 games), but he still managed 2 goals that year. The next season saw a push for the Premier League title, which Mario had a huge part in. Now trained up as a deeper midfielder, he became more a playmaker, not scoring but assisting and setting up goals through the year helped the club get their first ever division 1 title. The best was yet to come for Boye, the next campaign saw him get 6 goals and 10 assists in 48 games, eventually coming away with a FA Cup and Champions League medal too. These first 4 seasons have seen him come up heaps and bounds, as he looks to gain his first Argentina cap next season which should defiantly happen with his work rate and form.
