Kain Bond (born June 19, 1985) is an English former professional footballer.
Bond was born in Torquay and grew up in the Chelston district of the town. He joined the Torquay United Centre of Excellence, and became a prolific scorer for the Gulls' Under-16 side. He signed on as a trainee at Plainmoor in July 2001 and made his league debut on October 12, 2002 as a substitute for Paul Holmes in a 2-1 defeat away to Boston United. He played one further game that season, again as a substitute, this time for David Graham in the 5-0 home win in the FA Cup against Boreham Wood.
He turned professional in May 2003 [1], but played just once the following season, as a late substitute for Alex Russell in a 4-0 defeat away to Boston United on the 25th of October. Torquay’s form that season was enough to win them promotion, but the form of Bond’s teammates and a series of injuries kept him out of the side. He was given a short-term contract in the 2004 close season by Torquay manager Leroy Rosenior, making two further substitute appearances that September before being released in the November [2]. On leaving Torquay he played for Taunton Town.
[edit] Clay Bond
His brother, Clay, is also a footballer and also began his career as Torquay United’s Centre of Excellence. He soon attracted the attention of Premiership teams, including Southampton where he had a trial. Despite being offered terms by Torquay,[3] he moved to Plymouth Argyle to begin his traineeship, a move that resulted in Plymouth having to agree compensation terms with Torquay.[4] A midfielder, he made one unofficial first team appearance for Plymouth, as a substitute for Paul Wotton's testimonial against FC Bruges, and joined Torquay United on loan in March 2006,[5] but failed to make an appearance in Torquay’s struggling side. He was released by Plymouth at the end of the 2005-06 season.
Clay Bond moved to Sweden to play for Third Division side Bergs IK before returning to Devon in October 2006 when he joined Western League side Dawlish Town. Later that month he moved to Spain, joining Third Division side UD Oliva, though had to wait until December to sign a contract. He was due to make his debut against Clevillente on December 24th, but the game was postponed due to rain.[6]
