Born in San Giovanni Valdarno from Albanian parents,[1][2] Boci played football in Genoa's youth sector, where he captained several sides and won a national under-18 title in 2021.[1][2][3]
During the 2022–23 season, Boci started training regularly with the first team, following the temporary promotion of head coach Alberto Gilardino from the under-19 squad.[2][4] On 26 December 2022, he made his professional debut, coming in as a substitute for Stefano Sabelli at the 76th minute of the league match against Bari, which ended in 2-1 win for his side.[5][6] On 19 February 2023, Boci made his first professional start in a league match against Modena: however, he got injured during the first half of the game, being subsequently replaced with Domenico Criscito.[7][8] At the end of the campaign, Boci was involved in a double promotion, as Genoa's first team returned to Serie A after just one year,[9] while the Primavera squad gained automatic promotion back to the Campionato Primavera 1.[9][10]
On 17 July 2023, Boci joined Serie B club Lecco on a season-long loan.[11] Having not made a single appearance for the side in the first half of the campaign,[12] he joined Serie C club Legnago Salus on loan until the end of the season on 5 January 2024.[13]
On 17 July 2024, Boci signed a three-year contract with Feralpisalò.[14]
Thanks to his origins, Boci can represent both Italy and Albania internationally.
After taking part to a training camp with the Italian under-16 national team in 2019,[2] he went on to feature for the under-19 team two years later.[15]
After switching allegiances to Albania, he received his first call-up to the Albanian under-21 national team in October 2023.[16]
Boci is predominantly a left-back, who can also play a centre-back or a left wing-back in a five-men midfield.[1]
A left-footed player,[2] he can support the attacking phase while covering defensively, thanks to his tackling and marking abilities.[6]
