Boyomo scored his first professional goal on 25 October 2020, netting the opener in a 2–1 home defeat of Rayo Vallecano.[9] On 23 December, he renewed his contract until 2024.[10][11]

During the 2022-23 season, he was Albacete's fourth player for total game time, having collected 39 appearances (38 of which as a starter) and one goal.[3]

Valladolid

On 7 July 2023, Boyomo joined Segunda División side Real Valladolid for a reported fee of 1.2 million euros plus add-ons,[3] signing a four-year contract with the newly relegated club.[3][12]
