Between 2007 and 2010, he played for Potchefstroom side the Template:Rut Leopards, making 52 appearances and scoring 13 tries. In 2011, he moved to Johannesburg, where he played domestic rugby for the Template:Rut Golden Lions, scoring four tries in 42 appearances between 2011 and 2014. He also made seven appearances for the Template:Rut Lions during the 2012 Super Rugby season, scoring one try against local rivals the Template:Rut Bulls.[1]
A persistent leg injury led to long lay-offs for Bondesio and eventually his retirement at the end of the 2014 season.[2]
Bondesio is a qualified teacher and started teaching at Hoërskool Linden at the start of 2015.[3] He was also appointed as the assistant coach of club side Pirates.
