Mark Bonner (born 7 June 1974 in Ormskirk, Lancashire) is an English former professional footballer.

[edit] Career

Bonner began his career in 1991 at Blackpool, where he progressed through the youth ranks under Jimmy Mullen and Graham Carr, and became a regular in the first team under Billy Ayre during the latter's final two years with the Tangerines.

After seven years and four managers in his time at Bloomfield Road, Bonner moved south to join Cardiff City in 1998 on a free transfer. He was reunited with Ayre at Ninian Park, where he was assistant manager to Frank Burrows. He soon established himself in the side but after suffering from injury he was unable to reclaim his place and was allowed to join Hull City on loan. Bonner enjoyed a dream debut for the club, scoring the winning goal against Rotherham United, but the loan spell was cut short when he suffered an ankle injury in training and was sent back to Cardiff.

After recovering from the injury he managed to force his way back into the side and played a key role in the clubs promotion to Division Two. Over the next few years he played key roles in avoidung relegation back to Division Three and the eventual promotion to Division One, but niggling injuries took their toll on him and he left the club to join Oldham Athletic in 2004 before retiring from injury in 2006.
