Bosschaart made his professional league debut for Utrecht in the 1997–98 season, playing for the club until the 2003–04 season, when he was bought by Feyenoord. His first game for Feyenoord was a 6–1 victory over De Graafschap. In August 2006, he moved to ADO Den Haag. Bosschaart did not see a great deal of game time under former manager André Wetzel in the 2008–09 season, and therefore joined Helsingborgs IF on trial in February 2009.

Coaching career

Bosschaart started his coaching career as assistant manager at amateur side IJsselmeervogels, also becoming interim coach at the club. He then moved to professional side Cambuur as assistant manager, where he also became interim coach due to Henk de Jong being struck by illness. Ahead of the 2023–24 season, Bosschaart joined Feyenoord, but was immediately moved to partner club FC Dordrecht to become assistant manager. One year later, Bosschaart moved back to Feyenoord to become the head coach of the club's Under-21 team. On 11 February 2025, Bosschaart become the interim coach at Feyenoord after Brian Priske was sacked. He made his debut a day later in the knockout phase play-offs of the UEFA Champions League in a match against AC Milan, which resulted in a 1–0 home win for Feyenoord. Six days later, Feyenoord qualified for the round of 16 with a 1–1 draw at San Siro. In the Eredivisie, Bosschaart led Feyenoord to a 0–0 draw against NAC Breda and a 2–1 win against Almere City. After Feyenoord appointed Robin van Persie as their new head coach for the first team, Bosschaart returned as head coach of the Under-21 team.
