Club career
[edit]Youth career
[edit]Booth joined the Bayern Munich youth team from the Real Salt Lake youth academy in January 2019.[3] He made his professional debut for Bayern Munich II in the 3. Liga on June 14, 2020, coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute for Malik Tillman in the away match against Waldhof Mannheim, which finished as a 3–2 win.[4] He finished the 2019–20 season with two appearances.[5] He also made two appearances for the reserve team during the 2020–21 season[6] before being loaned out to SKN St. Pölten.[7]
Loan to SKN St. Pölten
[edit]On February 8, 2021, Booth was loaned to Austrian side SKN St. Pölten until the end of the season.
Bayern Munich
[edit]On August 25, he was promoted to Bayern Munich's senior squad for their 2021–22 DFB-Pokal first round fixture against Bremer SV. He came as a substitute in the second half and played 22 minutes in the 12–0 victory.
Utrecht
[edit]On January 28, 2022, Booth signed a pre-contract with Eredivisie club Utrecht to join the team as a free agent in the summer.[8]
After scoring a goal in both of Utrecht's league matches during November 2022, Booth was named the November Eredivisie Player of the Month.[9]
Booth scored his first goals of the following league campaign by way of a hat-trick, the first of his career, against FC Volendam on February 4, 2024; his brother, Zach, also scored in the match.[10]
International career
[edit]Booth has represented the United States at a number of youth levels, from under-15 to under-19. Most notably, he was included in the United States squad for the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup in India.[1] He made two appearances in the tournament, helping his team to the quarter-finals before losing 4–1 to eventual champions England.[2] On December 3, 2021, he was called up for the first time to the United States senior team for the friendly match against Bosnia and Herzegovina on December 18,[11] though he did not make an appearance. Booth got his first cap on March 24, 2023, in a CONCACAF Nations League match against Grenada.
On October 8, 2023, Booth was called up to the United States under-23 national team ahead of friendlies against Mexico and Japan.[12]
Personal life

He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[15][16] His younger brother, Zach, plays for Excelsior Rotterdam.[17]
