Club career

Bonds originates from Kensal Rise, London and attended Oakington Manor School in Wembley.[2] He has represented Middlesex and the Brent Schools' FA at various levels and was scouted by Eamonn Dolan for Reading.[3] He also had a spell in the youth team of Brentford.[3] In the summer of 2016 he signed a two-year scholarship with Dagenham & Redbridge.[3] He was a part of the side that reached the FA Youth Cup fourth-round in the 2017–18 season.[2]

He was rewarded with his first team debut in February 2018 when he replaced Fejiri Okenabirhie as a substitute in the 3–0 win over Torquay United, becoming the club's youngest ever senior player, aged 18.[4] He made his first senior start in the 5–3 away win at Guiseley in April 2018. He made five first team appearances that season despite being a second-year scholar.[4] In June 2018 he signed his first professional contract, a two-year deal until 2020.[4] In December 2018, he was sent out on loan to Southern Football League Premier Division side Farnborough.[5]

On 20 August 2019, Bonds joined Hull City on a one-year deal, with the club holding the option of a further year and initially joined up with the under-23 squad.[6]

International career

Bonds received his first call-up to the Guyana national team in November 2018 for the 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League qualifier against French Guiana.[7] He played the full ninety-minutes in the 2–1 defeat.[8]
