In 1916 and 1917, Boyd did not make any appearances, as his club was in recess due to World War I. When he returned in 1918 he kicked 17 goals, to top St Kilda's goal-kicking. In 1929 he signed with Sandringham, for which he would play 47 games for and kick 101 goals. Boyd was their leading goal-kicker in each of his three seasons at the club.
