Club career

Early career

Born in Majorca, Bover began his career at the academy of Mallorca. When he was 17, he moved to England and signed for Conference National side Kidderminster Harriers.[1]

Halesowen Town

Following his release by cash strapped Kidderminster, he joined Halesowen Town during the summer of 2010. He impressed during pre-season friendlies often playing back up to winger Daryl Taylor. Following Taylor's departure, however, Bover became first choice winger. He scored 2 goals in 20 appearances for the side,[2] before being offered a trial at then manager, Tony Thorpe's former club Queens Park Rangers. However, the trial was unsuccessful but Bover opted to look for a Football League club opposed to returning to Halesowen Town.

Charlton Athletic

In July 2011, League One club Charlton Athletic signed Bover after impressing during trials and friendlies played towards the end of the 2010–11 season.[1] Bover made his first competitive start for the club in a 2–1 win over Reading in the League Cup where he hit the post in the last few minutes of the game.[1]

He joined Spanish side CD San Roque de Lepe for the remainder of the 2011–12 season, where he scored 1 goal in 10 Segunda División B appearances.[3][4] Bover scored for San Roque de Lepe on 13 May 2012 in a 3–2 victory over Lorca Atlético. On 3 July 2012, Bover signed a one-year contract extension with Charlton.[5]

New York Red Bulls

In January 2013, Bover began a trial with Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls and eventually signed for the club on 8 February 2013.[6][7] On 3 March 2013 Bover made his official debut for New York starting for his new club in a 3–3 draw at Portland Timbers.[8] On 11 October 2014 Bover scored his first MLS goal in a 3-1 victory over Toronto FC.[9] The New York Red Bulls waived Ruben Bover on March 12, 2015 after 22 appearances for the club.

New York Cosmos

On 15 April 2015, Bover signed for New York Cosmos B.[10] Bover was named NPSL MVP and captured the National Premier Soccer League NPSL regular season title with Cosmos B.

On 13 June 2015, Bover made his first team debut with the New York Cosmos. On 5 August 2015, Bover officially signed with the first team of New York Cosmos. He helped the New York Cosmos in winning the Soccer Bowl in 2015
