Club career

[edit | edit source]

Boonen began his career with Genk but was released in the summer of 2014. He signed a three-year contract with English club Manchester United as a 16-year-old in February 2015.[3] He trained with the first team on occasion, but rejected the club's offer of a new contract in 2018 and left to return to Belgium with K.V. Oostende that June.[4] He made his professional debut for Oostende in a 2–1 Belgian First Division A win over Royal Excel Mouscron on 28 July 2018, coming on as an injury-time substitute for Richairo Živković.[5] He scored his first professional goal in a 1–1 draw away to S.V. Zulte Waregem on 1 December 2018. He finished the season with a total of three goals in 24 league appearances for the club.

Boonen played several months for Super League Greece 2 club Panachaiki during the first half of 2024, making four appearances. In June 2024, he returned to Belgium, signing with Challenger Pro League club Lokeren-Temse on a one-year contract with an option for an additional year.[6][7]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Boonen is the son of former professional footballer Jacky Boonen. His brother Seppe is also a footballer, who most recently played for Patro Eisden.[8] Like Indy, Seppe spent time in Manchester United's youth academy. Seppe began his career as a goalkeeper, but has since changed to being a forward.
