Andre Boucaud

His debut came three days later as a 78th-minute substitute in Wycombe's opening day 1–0 defeat at home to Accrington Stanley.

This was followed by his first start in a 2–2 draw away to Dagenham & Redbridge the following weekend.

Andre Christopher Boucaud (born 10 October 1984) is a professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder.

He has played in the Football League for Peterborough United, Wycombe Wanderers, Notts County and Dagenham & Redbridge and at senior international level for Trinidad and Tobago.

Boucaud joined the youth system at Queens Park Rangers in 2000 and after the club lost their Academy status he moved to the Reading youth system towards the end of 2001.

Boucaud started his career in the youth system at Queens Park Rangers before moving to Reading, with whom he signed a professional contract in 2002.

After breaking into Reading's reserve team, he signed a professional contract with the club on 25 March 2002 that contracted him at the club until June 2004., Boucaud was pursued by Premier League club Arsenal, but stayed with Reading as they gave him a three-year contract.

He had two spells on loan with Peterborough United in 2003 and signed for the club permanently in 2004.

He was loaned out to Second Division club Peterborough United until the end of the 2002–03 season on 27 March 2003 and he made his debut two days later as an 85th minute substitute in a 5–1 victory away to Mansfield Town.

He finished the season with six appearances for Peterborough.

Reading agreed to allow Boucaud to rejoin Peterborough on loan in June 2003, and Reading manager Alan Pardew said: "he's done enough to convince me that I shouldn't keep him there for too long".

His return to Peterborough was completed on an initial one-month loan on 8 August 2003.

His first appearance after returning was in a 4–3 defeat home to Hartlepool United the following day, and in September 2003 Peterborough manager Barry Fry said he wanted to extend Boucaud's stay at the club.

Having made nine appearances and scored one goal for Peterborough in two months, he returned to Reading on 7 October 2003.

He made his debut in 2004 as a substitute against Iraq, with his first start coming against Northern Ireland.

Fry spoke of his desire to re-sign Boucaud, and after Reading released him on 10 May 2004, he re-signed for Peterborough on a two-year contract on 14 May.

He made 24 appearances and scored one goal during 2004–05.

He had a loan spell with Aldershot Town of the Conference National in 2005 and was released by Peterborough in 2006.

Boucaud joined Conference National club Aldershot Town on a three-month loan on 16 September 2005.

He returned to Peterborough after being recalled from his loan on 15 December 2005, which he finished with 13 appearances.

Following his return to the club he was challenged by manager Mark Wright to fight for his place in the team.

He played in three 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers for Trinidad.

Boucaud was born in Enfield, Greater London.

After failing to figure in Wright's and subsequently Steve Bleasdale's plans, Boucaud was released by Peterborough on 9 May 2006 after his contract was allowed to expire.

He signed for Conference North club Kettering Town on 19 May 2006 and made his debut in a 1–0 home victory over Hyde United on 12 August.

He stayed with the club for 2006–07 and appeared in both legs of the play-off semi-final against Farsley Celtic, which Kettering lost 4–2 in a penalty shoot-out following a 1–1 draw on aggregate.

Boucaud spent a season with Kettering Town in the Conference North before signing for League Two club Wycombe Wanderers in 2007.

He made 50 appearances and scored five goals for the club before leaving on 5 June 2007 after new manager Mark Cooper decided against retaining him.

Boucaud joined League Two club Wycombe Wanderers on 8 August 2007 on a one-year contract after impressing during a pre-season trial.

He was released after one season and went on to spend two and a half seasons with Kettering after returning in 2008.

He finished 2007–08 with 11 appearances for Wycombe and the club released him on 21 May 2008.

He rejoined Kettering, by this time in the Conference Premier, on 5 August 2008 on a one-year contract.

While suffering an unknown illness in 2009, it was suspected that Boucaud could have contracted swine flu.

He played for Kettering when they were defeated 4–2 by Premier League team Fulham in the FA Cup fourth round on 24 January 2009, and was named man of the match by the Daily Mirror, who reported that Boucaud "ran the midfield".

His first child was born in 2010.

He left them after signing for York City in 2011, following an initial loan spell at the club.

Boucaud signed for Luton Town shortly after a year with York.

Less than a year later he joined Notts County on loan, before signing permanently in 2013.

In 2014, he signed for League Two club Dagenham & Redbridge after leaving Notts County.

Boucaud has represented Trinidad and Tobago, the homeland of his parents, at international level.
