Emmerson Orlando Boyce (born 24 September 1979 in Aylesbury, England) is an English-born Barbadian footballer who plays for Wigan Athletic in the Premier League.
Club career
Early career
Boyce played for Luton Town for six years before his contract expired. Boyce moved to Crystal Palace in July 2004 on a free transfer, following a short trial.
At Crystal Palace, Boyce established himself at right back in the first team. He was a favourite with Palace fans and was voted "Player of the Year" in 2006.
Wigan
Boyce was signed by Wigan Athletic on a 4 year deal on 1 August 2006.[1] He made his debut for Wigan Athletic on 19 August 2006 in a league match against Newcastle United. Two years later, on 15 November 2008, he received his first red card in Wigan colours against Newcastle United, after receiving a second yellow.
On 29 November 2008, Boyce scored his first goal for Wigan, a header from the edge of the area in a 2-1 win against West Bromwich Albion.
International career
Though born in England, Boyce's Barbados-born parents made him eligible to play for the Barbados national football team. Boyce earned his first international call-up on 20 March 2008, at age 28, stating that "The appeal is to play international football. I consider myself a Barbadian and I feel it's the right thing to do to play for my country. I am really looking forward to it."[2] He made his debut for Barbados in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Dominica on 26 March 2008, in a 1-0 win which advanced Barbados to the second round of qualifying.[3]
Personal life
Boyce attended Quarrendon Upper School.
