Boothman received many offers from other clubs but played for the Hawthorn Football Club in 1927, two years after they entered the VFL competition.[1] He was the 62nd player to represent the club and wore the #6 guernsey. He was absent from the 1927 team photo due to a knee injury he sustained during that season. Boothman's photo was requested by Hawthorn in 2009 and was displayed in a gallery of the club's past players at their Museum at Waverley Park.
Boothman left Hawthorn halfway through the 1927 season[2] and played out his career as a wing for Camberwell Football Club. His playing career with Camberwell lasted 8 years and resulted in best and fairest awards.[3]
