Career
Youth
Boloko earned his first provincial colours in 2005 when he was selected to represent Border at the Under-13 Craven Week competition. In 2008, he once again represented Border at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week competition, which also resulted in him being included in a South African Under-16 Elite Squad.[2] He also played for them at the premier school tournament in South Africa, the Craven Week in both 2009 and 2010.
He then moved to Durban to join the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] Academy prior to the 2011 season. During his spell there, he made three appearances for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side during the 2011 Under-19 Provincial Championship.
Eastern Province Kings
In 2012, he was on the move again; he returned to the Eastern Cape, this time to Port Elizabeth to join the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]. He appeared for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side during the 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championship and 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championships.
In 2013, he was named in the Eastern Province Kings' squad for the 2013 Vodacom Cup, but failed to make an appearance. His first class debut came a year later during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition. He started their match against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in George, but could not prevent his side suffering a 21–23 loss.[3] He did finish on the winning side the following week in his second and final appearance for the Kings in a 28–21 win against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[4]
He was released by the Kings when his contract expired at the end of 2014.[5]
