He finished jumping on the large hill in 42nd place. In the second competition on January 25th he was 49.

On January 15, 2011, he won his first World Cup points as 28th when jumping in Sapporo . The following day he came in 29th also in the points. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in Oslo in 2011 , Boyd-Clowes only qualified for jumping from the large hill, but missed the second round there and finished in 34th place.

In February 2013 Boyd-Clowes was injured in Willingen during a show jumping on a mini-hill that some jumpers organized due to the canceled World Cup jumping. He fell on landing and suffered a broken collarbone, abrasions on his face and minor bruises. He then had to end the 2012/13 season early.

On January 11, 2014, he jumped to ninth place in ski flying on the Kulm , which was his first place in the top ten of a World Cup competition.
