We are delighted to announce the signing of Harrison Bond, subject to NPL and FA approval.

Bond came through the ranks at the Academy of Light, where he featured in the Under-18 Premier League and Premier League 2.

He was also on the bench for the Sunderland first team against Blackpool in the Carabao Cup back in 2021, but was an unused substitute.

After his release from Sunderland, Bond spent two years at Gateshead, where he was part of the squad that lifted the Isuzu FA Trophy back in 2024.

He has also had loan spells at Whitley Bay, Shildon and Blyth Spartans.

On joining the Hornets, Harrison said: “I'm really happy to sign, I've been around the lads and coaching staff for a few weeks now playing and training and have enjoyed it.

“Looking forward to the new season getting started and to play as many games as possible to help the team win games.”

Head Goalkeeper Coach, Carl Morris said: “We’re all delighted to have got Harrison over the line. He came in to train with us a few weeks ago, and the level of professionalism and standards he’s brought have been first class.

“Bondy (Harrison) joins us with a professional background, and his calmness and communication during games will be a huge asset for us this season.

“I’m personally looking forward to working with him every week alongside the rest of the keepers at Hebburn.”

We’d like to wish Harrison all the best for the 2025/26 season, and we hope he enjoys his time at the Hornets.
