He won gold medal in the 500 m at the 2022 World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships.

De Boo confirmed his switch to long track speed skating following the 2022–23 season.[2] The following season, in November 2023, De Boo made his ISU Speed Skating World Cup debut at the Meiji Hokkaido-Tokachi Oval in Obihiro, Japan where he finished tenth in the 1000 m race.[3] At the second World Cup race, held at the National Speed Skating Oval in Beijing, he finished in seventh place in the 1000 m race.[4]

At the 2024 European Speed Skating Championships, held at Thialf in Heerenveen, Netherlands, De Boo won a bronze medal in the team sprint, a silver medal in the 1000 m and a gold medal in the 500 m.

In March 2025, De Boo won a gold medal in the 500 m at the 2025 World Single Distances Speed Skating Championships in Hamar, Norway, clocking a track record time of 34.24 to beat rival Jordan Stolz and become world champion for the first time.[5] A month later, he extended his contract with Team Reggeborgh until the 2027–28 season.[6]
