Jonathan Boardman (born January 27, 1981) is an English professional footballer, who plays for Dagenham & Redbridge.

Boardman was born in Reading, Berkshire and joined Crystal Palace as a trainee in June 1999, turning professional on July 7, 2000. On March 22, 2001 he joined Woking on loan to gain some first-team experience in the Conference, returning to Palace at the end of the season.

On August 23, 2001, Boardman accompanied his Palace team-mate David Woozley to Torquay United and began a week's trial (whilst Woozley was signed on a month's loan). However, he returned to Selhurst Park without being registered to play for the Gulls. It later transpired that Palace had thought he was joining Torquay on loan, whereas Torquay manager Roy McFarland had simply wanted to see him in training. In October 2001 he joined Conference side Margate on loan.

Later that season he joined Woking on loan, moving to Woking on a free transfer in March 2002 after his release by Crystal Palace, having spent the three previous months on loan at Woking[1]. He had not played a single first team game for Palace. He remained with Woking until May 2005 when he joined Rochdale[2].

He was a regular in his first season with Rochdale, but became a fringe player and had his contract cancelled by mutual consent on January 22, 2007[3]. A week later he signed for Conference National side Dagenham & Redbridge.[4]

Boardman currently writes a monthly column for UK football magazine Shoot Monthly.
