Bonham Blooms As An Adopted Cumbrian
JACK Bonham reckons going on loan to Carlisle was one of the best decisions he’s ever made – because it’s helped his decision-making!
Like many a young goalkeeper, the Stevenage-born shot-stopper has found first-team action hard to come by.
There is, after all, only one spot available in a team and clubs will tend to go for the experienced option.
At Brentford, Bonham was understudy to the highly-rated Dan Bentley and didn’t fancy another campaign sitting on the bench. So, it was off to Carlisle to get EFL experience on loan – and Bonham is relishing every minute.
“This is my first season of games and I’m learning things every week,” said the 24-year-old. “It’s massive and I’ve come on leaps and bounds. There’s a lot to learn in decision-making, with through balls and crosses. You become a lot sharper and you’re more ready when you get more opportunities to play.
