Rory Joseph Boulding (born 21 July 1988) is an English footballer, who last played for Scottish club Livingston.
Boulding started his career alongside his elder brother Michael at Mansfield Town. He had loan spells with Ilkeston Town and Hucknall Town before he joined Bradford along with his brother in 2008. In 2010, he joined Accrington Stanley, before heading to Scotland in 2011, where he has played for Livingston, Kilmarnock, Dundee United and Falkirk before rejoining Livingston for a second spell in 2015.
Boulding began his footballing career as a trainee at Mansfield Town in August 2006, joining the club at the same time as his brother Michael. He started the 2006–07 season on loan at Ilkeston Town, returning to Mansfield to make his first-team debut as a substitute in the Football League Trophy match against Grimsby Town in October 2006 and his league debut as a substitute in the 5–0 victory against Torquay in January 2007. He did not start a game for Mansfield during his first season, coming on as substitute 11 times, but he signed a contract extension during the summer. In September 2007, he joined Hucknall Town on a one-month loan. He returned to Mansfield and scored his first senior goal in a first round FA Cup tie with Lewes. After Mansfield Town were relegated to the Football Conference at the end of the 2007–08 season, he was out of contract but was offered new terms by the club. In July 2008, he and his brother Michael both left Mansfield Town after turning down a contract offer to remain with the club in the Football Conference for the 2008–09 season.
