Michael Boateng became the 15th and final summer signing of the 2011 off-season by new Rovers manager Paul Buckle when he put pen to paper on 19 July 2011, 29 days before his 20th birthday. The Londoner was a Carshalton Athletic player when he joined Rovers on trial during the 2011–12 pre-season, and played in three of the club's friendly fixtures after having been recommended by former Carshalton 'Football Consultant' and ex-Rovers Director of Football Lennie Lawrence. His performances in the games and in training, coupled with a glowing character reference, was enough to persuade Buckle to sign him, and he went on to play in three more of the warm-up matches for the new season.

abstract
| - Michael Boateng became the 15th and final summer signing of the 2011 off-season by new Rovers manager Paul Buckle when he put pen to paper on 19 July 2011, 29 days before his 20th birthday. The Londoner was a Carshalton Athletic player when he joined Rovers on trial during the 2011–12 pre-season, and played in three of the club's friendly fixtures after having been recommended by former Carshalton 'Football Consultant' and ex-Rovers Director of Football Lennie Lawrence. His performances in the games and in training, coupled with a glowing character reference, was enough to persuade Buckle to sign him, and he went on to play in three more of the warm-up matches for the new season. Once the 2011–12 season was under way, the defender found himself out of contention for a first team place. The first time he was included in the first team squad was when he was an unused sub in a 1–1 draw with Watford in the League Cup on 23 August, before finally making his debut as a 76th-minute substitute in the 3–1 defeat to Wycombe Wanderers in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on 6 September. Just over a month later, with no more senior football under his belt, he was sent on loan to Tonbridge Angels along with teammate Kayne McLaggon in order to gain some more first team experience. Following the end of his temporary stay in Kent he was immediately sent on loan to Conference South side Sutton United for the remainder of the season. He was released by manager Mark McGhee in the summer of 2012, having not made any league appearances for the club.
