On 27 June 2011, AZ confirmed they had signed Boymans to a four-year deal.{{cite news|url=http://www3.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuws/204009/content-az-legt-boymans-voor-vier-jaar-vast|title=Content AZ legt Boymans voor vier jaar vast|work=Voetbalprimeur|publisher=Voetbalprimeur|language=nl|accessdate=27 June 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140816204613/http://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuws/204009/content-az-legt-boymans-voor-vier-jaar-vast|archive-date=16 August 2014}} Unfortunately, Boymans was not able to cement his place in the first eleven and was sent on loan to NEC on 27 January 2013.{{cite news|url=http://static.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuws/331349/nec-bevestigt-komst-falkenburg-en-boymans|title=NEC bevestigt komst Falkenburg en Boymans|work=Voetbalprimeur|publisher=Voetbalprimeur|language=nl|accessdate=27 January 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140617132838/http://static.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuws/331349/nec-bevestigt-komst-falkenburg-en-boymans|archive-date=17 June 2014}} For the 2013–14 season, Boymans was sent on loan to Willem II.{{cite news|url=http://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuws/351369/trots-willem-ii-vindt-in-gevoelsmens-boymans-spits|title=Trots Willem II vindt in gevoelsmens Boymans spits|work=Voetbalprimeur|publisher=Voetbalprimeur|language= nl|accessdate=26 June 2013}} He became champion of the Eerste Divisie and scored 27 times in 36 matches.
As he had no prospect of play time with AZ, Boymans was sold to FC Utrecht on 17 June 2014. He signed a four-year deal with the Eredivisie side.{{cite news|url=http://www.voetbalprimeur.nl/nieuws/387500/fc-utrecht-aanwinst-kan-geluk-niet-op-ik-heb-er-ongelooflijk-veel-zin-in-.html|title=FC Utrecht-aanwinst kan geluk niet op: "Ik heb er ongelooflijk veel zin in"|work=Voetbalprimeur|publisher=Voetbalprimeur|language= nl|accessdate=26 June 2013}}
On 6 June 2016, it was announced Boymans had signed with Al Shabab.[http://www.vi.nl/nieuws/boymans-kiest-voor-avontuur-in-de-woestijn.htm Boymans kiest voor avontuur in de woestijn] (Dutch). Voetbal International. 6 June 2016 He scored twice in his first six league matches. In November 2016, in a match against Dibba Al-Fujairah Club, he swallowed his tongue after colliding with the opponent goalkeeper. Scans at the hospital found moisture in his head which kept Boymans out of action. After a run of poor results, Dutch coach Fred Rutten resigned. In the 2016–17 summer transfer window, Al Shabab signed an African forward who was registered as one of four foreigners allowed per club while Boymans was the fifth foreigner and unable to play.{{cite news|title=Boymans in woestijn: vorstelijk salaris, geen speelminuten|url=https://nos.nl/artikel/2170934-boymans-in-woestijn-vorstelijk-salaris-geen-speelminuten.html|accessdate=28 October 2017|work=Nederlandse Omroep Stichting|date=1 May 2017|language=nl}} In June 2017, he trained with former club FC Utrecht.{{cite web|title=Ruud Boymans terug bij FC Utrecht|url=https://www.foxsports.nl/nieuws/artikel/1892826/ruud-boymans-terug-bij-utrecht#|website=FOX Sports|accessdate=28 October 2017|language=nl|date=27 June 2017}}
