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.

Famous quotes containing the words drop to and/or drop:
“Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere
Nor any drop to drink.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature; but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapor, a drop of water is enough to kill him. But even if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than his slayer, because he knows that he is dying and the advantage the universe has over him. The universe knows nothing of this.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
