Mick Boon was a wicket-keeper and useful lower-order batsman. He was selected to play in both of New Zealand's matches against New South Wales in 1923-24, but after the first match in Christchurch his employer, the Public Trustee, refused to grant him leave to travel to Wellington for the second.[1][2] His highest first-class score was 72 for Canterbury against Auckland in 1926-27.[3]

Boon also represented Canterbury and New Zealand at lawn bowls.[4]
