Career

Oldham Athletic

Boshell spent 6 years at Oldham Athletic after coming through their youth system and by 2004 was their longest serving player, Boshell finally left the club in 2005 after a loan spell at Bury F.C..[2] He turned out 70 times in the league for The Latics, scoring twice.

Stockport County

Boshell signed for Stockport County for the 2005-06 season and played 33 times in the league, scoring one goal. He was released at the end of the season.

Grimsby Town

Boshell was given a pre season trial by Grimsby in the summer of 2006 by Graham Rodger though this was only to sustain injury. However, manager Rodger kept in touch with Boshell and several weeks later he returned to Grimsby Town originally on a non-contract basis, joining on 25 August. He made his league debut against Macclesfield Town in a 1-1 draw at Blundell Park, and soon he was offered a deal to keep him at Blundell Park until the end of the season. He was slotted into a central midfield role in his first season, being paired with Gary Harkins or Paul Bolland, who incidentally attended the same secondary school as Boshell in their home town of Bradford. A series of superb displays under new manager Alan Buckley saw Boshell earn himself a new deal at Grimsby until the summer of 2009. He went on to win the 2006-07 Grimsby Town goal of the season, for his volley at Milton Keynes Dons.[3]

In 2007–08 Boshell was a major figure in Grimsby Town reaching the final of the Football League Trophy - the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. However, in the final he missed a penalty after a save from Milton Keynes Dons goalkeeper Willy Guéret. Eventually Grimsby lost the game after a Keith Andrews penalty and a header from Sean O'Hanlon wrapped up a 2-0 win. During the 2008-2009 season under Mike Newell he was used as a utility player, and in the 2009-10 season, Boshell became out of favour under Newell, and his eventual replacement Neil Woods following a poor disciplinary record, in which he was sent off twice in the first couple of months of the season. Boshell continued to struggle to break into the Grimsby first team and on 13 January 2010, Woods told Boshell, along with Barry Conlon, Matthew Heywood and Jamie Clarke that they are free to leave the club in the January transfer window.[4] On 1 February 2010, Boshell, along with Clarke and Heywood agreed mutually to terminate their contracts.[5]

Chesterfield

A few hours after being released by Grimsby, Boshell signed for Chesterfield until the end of the season,[6] becoming one of a number of former Grimsby players at Saltergate including Jack Lester, Martin Gritton, Barry Conlon and Paul Harsley. After appearing 9 times for the club in the closing stages of the 09/10 season, Boshell was released at the end of the season. Incidentally, teammate Barry Conlon who was released by Grimsby on the same day as Boshell, also found himself being released and joined Danny's former club Stockport County.

Guiseley

On 27 August 2010, Boshell signed for Non-League side Guiseley. Boshell made 33 league appearances during the 2010-11 season helping Guiseley to defeat Boston United in the Conference North play-off semi final, however the club were beaten 3-2 in the final by AFC Telford United. Boshell was eventually joined by his brother Nicky at the club.

After a difference of opinion with manager Steve Kittrick, Boshell and his younger brother Nicky were placed on the transfer list.[7] On 15 March 2013 Boshell joined Altrincham on loan for the remainder of the 2012–13 season.[8] Boshell played 8 times for Alty and returned to Guiseley on 22 April 2013.

Altrincham

On 17 May 2013 he signed permanently for Altrincham.[9] Boshell played 7 times for Altrincham before departing the club in October 2013.[10]

Return to Guiseley

In October 2013, Danny re joined Guiseley as player assistant manager under new manager Mark Bower. They took over with Guiseley hovering over the bottom of Conference North Guiseley's form picked and reached the Play off final against his old club Altrincham F.C. but was unable to play.[11]

He left the club and retired from his playing career on 22 August 2016.[12]
