Career

AFC Ajax

Boilesen started playing football in local amateur clubs in Ballerup and Skovlunde,[1] before joining top-flight club Brøndby IF in 2004.[2] As a left-footed central defender, Boilesen saw Danish senior international and former Brøndby player Daniel Agger as his role-model.[2] Boilesen made his debut for the Denmark national under-17 football team in July 2007, and played a total 38 games for various Danish youth teams in his time at Brøndby.[3]

As his Brøndby contract expired in December 2009, Boilesen agreed a move to the Netherlands, with Ajax paying Brøndby 4 million DKK in compensation.[4] Boilesen had already trained with Manchester United and was followed by a number of European clubs, but chose Ajax on advice from fellow Danish youth international and Ajax player Christian Eriksen.[5] He made his professional debut on 3 April 2011, as he played the second half of Ajax' 3–0 victory against Heracles Almelo.[6]
