Kelvin Owusu Bossman (born 20 January 1991) is a Ghanaian footballer who plays as a forward for Biggleswade Town.

Club career

Born in Ghana, Bossman moved to the United Kingdom aged 9.[1] He joined the Reading Academy in 2002 and progressed through the age groups, signing scholarship forms in 2007.[2] In December 2008 he joined Basingstoke Town on work experience.[3] He made his debut against Eastleigh and made eight appearances in total, scoring once, before returning to Reading in February.[4] Soon after he joined Conference Premier side Woking on a similar deal until the end of the season, making a further eight appearances.[5][6] Despite top scoring for the Academy with seven goals from 14 games during 2008–09, he left Reading at the end of the season having not been offered a professional contract.[7][8]

He signed for Eredivisie side FC Groningen in 2009 after a two-week trial and played in the reserve team.[7][9] He suffered a serious knee injury during his time with the club and failed to make an appearance for the first-team, joining Eerste Divisie side SC Cambuur on loan in March 2011.[10] After leaving Groningen he joined Helmond Sport and spent one season with the club, making 20 appearances in all competitions.[11] He left the club in 2012 having not been offered a new contract after breaking his metatarsal.[12]

In October 2012, Bossman returned to England with Conference South side Maidenhead United.[7] After making just two appearances in four months, he moved to divisional rivals Havant & Waterlooville on a short-term contract.[13] He made eight appearances, seven coming as a substitute, but left the club in May 2013 having declined the offer of a new contract.[1][11] In August 2013 he joined Southern League Premier Division side Cambridge City on non-contract terms.[14] He remained with the club for just two weeks before returning to the Conference South with Hayes & Yeading United.[15][16] He made his debut in a 1–0 win over Dover Athletic.[17]

After less than three months with Hayes & Yeading, Bossman returned to Cambridge City in November on a game-by-game basis,[18] citing "personal reasons" for the move.[19]

International career

Bossman represented Ghana at the under-17 World Cup, making five appearances and scoring once against Trinidad and Tobago.[20]
