Belgium

At the age of 16, Bossin debuted for RWS Bruxelles in the Belgian Second Division.[2] He made three appearances for the club[1] before signing for Anderlecht, Belgium's most successful club, where would he mainly feature for the club's reserve team. In late 2016, he went on trial with Barnsley and stated that he was looking to spend time out on loan but his club decided against this.[3][4]

England

In 2017, he signed for English EFL Championship outfit Nottingham Forest having failed to make an appearance for Anderlecht.[5] However, he failed to mane an appearance there due to a change of head coach.[6] He spent two years at the club and was released by at the end of the 2018–19 season. After being released by Nottingham Forest, Bossin spent time on trial with EFL League Two side Swindon Town, playing in a friendly game against Manchester United XI but ultimately not signing for the club.[4]
