After spells with Tunbridge Wells Rangers and Leyton, Boreham joined Tottenham Hotspur in May 1908. His debut occurred almost a year later in March 1909 in the London Challenge Cup competition where Tottenham lost to
Millwall Athletic 2–0. This was directly followed by his football league debut against
Gainsborough Trinity which finished 1–1. The
goalkeeper played a total of 35 matches and 20 in the league for the "Lilywhites". He returned to Leyton where he ended his career. == References ==
