[edit] Club career
[edit] Crewe Alexandra
Bond began his career at Crewe Alexandra but despite being a regular for the reserves never made a first team appearance.[2] He was loaned out to lower league Lancaster City during the 2005–2006 season, where he made 24 appearances and scored 4 goals.[3]
[edit] Barrow
He joined Conference North side Barrow in 2006 after being released by Crewe. Bond impressed at Barrow and had a successful spell, helping the club achieve promotion to the Conference National (currently known as the Blue Square Bet Premier League) through the play-offs in the 2007–2008 season.[4] In the 2009–2010 season Bond was a key player in Barrow's progression to the third round of the FA Cup, where they lost 3–0 to Sunderland and in their victorious FA Trophy campaign. During this season Bond reportedly attracted the attention of several Championship clubs, including Leicester, Peterborough and Preston.[4]
[edit] Colchester United
With his contract set to expire at the end of the 2009–2010 season Bond opted to move on from Barrow. Although linked with a move to League One side Carlisle it was eventually announced that he had moved to their divisional rivals Colchester United. He was new manager John Ward's first signing.[5] Ward described him as "a marauding midfield player with a lot of energy and running work in him."[5]
He made his Football League debut on 7 August 2010 in a match against Exeter City,[6] before opening his U's account with a stunning strike in his home debut against Sheffield Wednesday which won Colchester's goal of the season award. In July 2011, in a pre-season match against Ipswich Town Bond suffered a serious head injury which caused the game to be abandoned. However, despite initial concerns, it was confirmed he did not fracture his cheekbone. He did, however, suffer a nasty cut below the eye and concussion.
