Club career

Bonevacia was born in Lelystad and started playing football with VV Reiger Boys in Heerhugowaard, North Holland.[4][5] Different professional clubs were interested in signing the youngster, including AZ and AFC Ajax, for whom he finally signed his first youth contract in the summer of 2001.[5] Until 2010, Bonevacia played in the Ajax Academy, first as a central defender and later as a defensive midfielder.[6] In July 2008, Bonevacia signed his first professional contract for Ajax, a three-year deal until 2011.[5][7] He was considered to be a top prospect at Ajax.[8]

At the beginning of the 2010–11 season, Bonevacia was added to Ajax's senior squad by manager Martin Jol. He made his Eredivisie debut in the starting line-up on 14 August 2010 in a 4–2 victory over Vitesse at the Amsterdam ArenA.[9] His second appearance came on 22 September 2010 in the KNVB Cup where he started and played the full 90 minutes in the 5–0 win against MVV Maastricht at home.
