Hiram Kojo Kwarteng Boateng (born 8 January 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Northampton Town on loan from Crystal Palace.
Boateng was born in Wandsworth and played in the Crystal Palace academy from the age of eight and progressed to the first team in 2013.
He made his professional debut in 4–1 defeat in a FA Cup third round replay against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on 15 January 2013. At the end of the 2012–13 season, Boateng was awarded Paul Brooks Academy Player of the Year and the next season, Boateng was, again, awarded Vice-Presidents' Young Player of the Year.
Despite impressing in that game his opportunities were limited, but entered the first team frame in December 2013 due to the injuries of Kagisho Dikgacoi and Stuart O'Keefe. He was named as a substitute on 26 December against Aston Villa. He made his second appearance for the club in the FA Cup in a 2–0 win against West Brom at The Hawthorns on 4 January 2014. In April 2014, Boateng then signed his first professional contract with the club.
Boateng then featured in the pre-season friendly ahead of the 2014–15 season. Despite being featured for the reserve for the 2014–15 and appearing three times as an un-used substitute, Boateng signed a contract with the club, keeping him until 2017.
Boateng made his League debut for Palace, as a 70th-minute substitute for Yohan Cabaye, in an away 1–1 draw against Swansea City on 6 February 2016.
