From the 2014/2015 season onwards, he continued his career at FC Eindhoven and later played in the Netherlands for sc Heerenveen, Willem II and De Graafschap. Ahead of the 2020/2021 season, he moved to French side Toulouse, where he became champions in 2022 and secured promotion to Ligue 1.
The right-footed player returned to Amsterdam on a free transfer in May 2023 and made his first-team debut on August 12 that year in the match against Heracles Almelo. To date, Van den Boomen has played 56 official matches for Ajax's first team, scoring five goals.
Director of Football Marijn Beuker: "Branco is an exemplary professional who has unfortunately suffered a number of setbacks with us over recent seasons due to injuries, including a long-term back injury. He has always dealt with that in a highly professional manner. Ligue 1 is a competition in which he has previously been successful, and hopefully, he can work his way back to his former level there. We wished him every success."
