In January 2019 he signed a new contract with Hamilton, running until the end of the 2020–21 season.[12] Boyd left the club in August 2019.[13]

In September 2019 he signed for East Fife on a short-term deal until January 2020.[14]

In January 2020 he moved to Peterhead.[15]

The striker signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2022.[17]
