Drop To Non-league
After his release from Hartlepool, Boyd was linked with Bury F.C. and local Conference professional side Gateshead, the latter of whom made an offer for Boyd before he sensationally signed for Carlisle based Northern League side Celtic Nation. Celtic Nation during pre-season went on to bring in numerous ex-Football League players including Boyd's former team-mates Paul Arnison, Jeff Smith and Graeme Lee.
He made his first appearance for Celtic Nation in 1-0 victory in an F.A. Cup Extra-Preliminary Round away to Billingham Synthonia in front of a crowd of 153. He left the club by 'mutual consent' after only three months having managed only a solitary goal during his brief stay - a volley to win the FA Cup tie against Dunston in September.
He subsequently joined up with Lincoln City on trial.
