Nick de Bondt (born 21 April 1994) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left winger for VV DOVO.[2]
Born and raised in Ede, Netherlands, de Bondt began his football career playing for the youth ranks of local amateur side SV Otterlo. In 2008, he joined the youth ranks of nearby Vitesse/AGOVV, the joint youth team of both Vitesse Arnhem and AGOVV Apeldoorn, where he remained for the next three seasons.[3]
On 8 June 2011, Ajax announced that they had signed the young left footed winger from Gelderland to a three-year contract, which bound him to the Amsterdam club until 30 June 2014.[4] During his first season with Ajax, de Bondt joined the Ajax A1 youth selection. While playing for the Ajax A1 youth squad in 2011–12, de Bondt helped his side to win the Nike Eredivisie league title,[5] as well as finishing as runners-up to Inter Milan in the NextGen Series (the Champions League equivalent for under-20 teams) after losing on penalties (5–3) following a 1–1 deadlock after extra time.[6]
After playing for the Ajax A1 selection for his first two seasons with Ajax, de Bondt joined Ajax reserves' team Jong Ajax for the 2013–14 season. Jong Ajax had recently been promoted from the Beloften Eredivisie, and were now competing in the Dutch Eerste Divisie, the 2nd tier of professional football in the Netherlands. Having been sidelined due to an injury, de Bondt did not make his professional debut until matchday 11, where he substituted in for Boban Lazić in the 74' minute, in the 3–1 away loss to SBV Excelsior in Rotterdam.[7]
On 30 April 2014, Go Ahead Eagles announced that de Bondt would join the club from Deventer as a free transfer. De Bondt signed a two-year contract with an option for an additional year.[8]
De Bondt left Go Ahead in summer 2016 for Tweede Divisie side De Treffers.[9]
On 31 January 2019, SV Spakenburg loaned out de Bondt to VV DUNO for the rest of the season.[10]
De Bondt made his debut playing for the Netherlands national team on 8 February 2011 playing for the Netherlands U-17 in a friendly match against Greece U-17 which ended in a 1–0 win for the Dutch. He helped the Netherlands U-17 qualify for the 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship in Serbia, appearing in 1 match during the qualification process of the tournament which the Dutch were able to win defeating Germany U-17 5–2 in the final. De Bondt appeared in every match during the tournament to help his side secure the European Championship.[11] On 10 September 2012, de Bondt made his debut for the Netherlands U-19 in a friendly match against Scotland U-19 which resulted in a 2–1 victory for the Netherlands.[12] He scored his first goal for the Netherlands U-19 in a 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification match against Poland U-19 at home. He then followed up by scoring his second goal for Netherlands U-19 in the same match, which ended in a 3–1 win for the Netherlands.[13]
