Club career
Bonds originates from Kensal Rise, London and attended Oakington Manor School in Wembley.[3] He has represented Middlesex and the Brent Schools' FA at various levels and was scouted by Eamonn Dolan for Reading.[4] He also had a spell in the youth team of Brentford.[4] In the summer of 2016 he signed a two-year scholarship with Dagenham & Redbridge.[4] He was a part of the side that reached the FA Youth Cup fourth-round in the 2017–18 season.[3]
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.[5] 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.[5] In June 2018 he signed his first professional contract, a two-year deal until 2020.[5] In December 2018, he was sent out on loan to Southern Football League Premier Division side Farnborough.[6]

On 20 August 2020, Bonds joined Cheltenham Town on a season-long loan.[8]
Bonds returned to Hull after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament that put at end to his Cheltenham loan.[9]
On 29 June 2021, Bonds signed a two-year contract with Cheltenham Town.[10] On 20 October 2021, Bonds joined National League North side Kidderminster Harriers on loan until December.[11] On 3 December 2021, the loan was extended by a further month until January 2022.[12] In July 2022, Bonds signed a contract extension with Cheltenham until 2025.[13]
