[edit] Biography
Boertien began his career in Carlisle United in August 1996. His first league game for Carlisle United was against Walsall on October 4, 1997, while his first goal for the club from Cumbria came against Swansea City on February 13, 1999.
Boertien signed for Derby County in March 1999 £250 000. He made his debut on May 16, 1999 against Chelsea. He then went out on loan to Crewe Alexandra in 2000 before returning to score his first goal in a 2-0 Premier League over Derby's local rivals Leicester City on April 16th, 2001. Boertien was in and out of the team over the next three years, including a loan spell at Notts County in 2004, but suffered from an unlucky run of injuries between 2004 and 2006 which saw him a virtuial ever present in the treatment room. He made his return to the first team after almost two years in a 2-1 victory over Hull City in August 2006. However, an injury sustained during the Boxing Day defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers, coupled with the signing of Blackburn Rovers James McEveley, saw Boertien slip to third choice left back and manager Billy Davies announced his his contract would not be renewed at the end of the season, after over eight years at Pride Park. On March 22nd 2007, Boertien joined Derbyshire club Chesterfield[1] on a month’s loan in an attempt to regain match fitness and put himself in the shop window.
