Dani Bondarv (Dimitry Bondarev) was born in Russia, he came to Israel at the age of 5, settling with his family in Kibbutz Gazith where he started to play. When he first moved to the youth teams of Hapoel his potential shined. Coach Itzhak Shum recongnised his form in the under 19 team and called him to the first squad. Playing as a right defender Boner grabbed the opportunity and showed great form, being called to the Israeli youth and national team.
