Ex-Oldham Athletic youngster shares message after Blackpool departure
Blackpool have announced their retained list following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.
Young striker Terry Bondo was among the six players to be released by Blackpool at the end of their contracts.
The 19-year-old leaves the Seasiders alongside former club captain James Husband and fellow youngsters Dan Sassi, Harvey Bardsley, Derek Oshodi and Harry Williamson.
Bondo, who made the move to Bloomfield Road from Oldham Athletic in 2023, experienced several first-team opportunities during his time on the Fylde Coast.
After being handed his debut by Steve Bruce in 2024, the forward went on to feature in 11 senior games for Blackpool - including five outings in League One.
He was also sent out on loan to both Matlock Town, Marine and King’s Lynn Town across the last two seasons, and was on hand with four goals during his recent stint with the latter.
Following the news of his Seasiders departure, Bondo took to Instagram to share a farewell message.
“My journey at Blackpool FC has now come to an end,” he wrote.
“I just want to thank all the staff for all the support that they have shown to me over the years. I also want to thank all the players who have helped me become the player and the person I am today.
|It’s been an amazing three years filled with ups and down but loads of amazing memories were made at this club. Thank you to all the fans who stuck with me and supported me through it all.”
