Club career

Youth

Bouman was born in the Netherlands to a Dutch father and Australian mother and moved to Sydney at the age of four. When his family relocated back to the Netherlands in 2014, he joined FC Groningen as a youth player, after playing as a junior in Australia for GHFA Spirit, Manly United, and Blacktown City. In 2019, he caught the eye after scoring eight goals in 15 appearances with Groningen's under-23 side.[1] During his time at Groningen, he played nearly 100 games for the youth sides.[2]

SC Cambuur

In May 2019, Bouman joined SC Cambuur's senior team.[3] During his time at the club, he played 11 games for the under-21 side and wasn't capped by the senior side.[2] At the end of the season, he left the club due to him being out of contract and not being re-signed after the club was denied promotion to the Eredivise, due to the season being abandoned because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Central Coast Mariners

Iמ October 2020, Bouman returned to Australia, signing a one-year contract with Central Coast Mariners ahead of the 2020–21 A-League season following trialling with them during the pre-season.[5][6]

International career

Bouman was selected by Graham Arnold for Australia's under-23 side who competed in the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship, which doubled as qualifiers for the 2020 Olympics. In the tournament, he played in five out of the six matches and helped Australia qualify for the 2020 Olympics.[2]
