Branco van den Boomen, born on 21 July 1995 (age 30), is a Dutch central midfielder currently with FC Eindhoven. His career has taken him through the Netherlands and France, with his development helped by early senior football rather than being kept too long in the academy lane.
An early loan spell at FC Eindhoven gave him useful first-team grounding, and that club has remained part of his story. Van den Boomen later built a more substantial reputation at Toulouse, where his most productive league season came in 2021-2022: 12 goals in 37 appearances from midfield, a return that explains why he was noticed beyond the usual Dutch circuit.
He is valued at around £3m by Transfermarkt. Now back at FC Eindhoven, he is an experienced midfielder with a career shaped by steady moves, a strong spell in France, and enough end product to mark him out from the more routine central midfield traffic.
