Northern Ireland striker closing in on League Two switch as Dutch exit looms
League Two side Chesterfield are among the clubs showing strong interest in the former Portadown frontman.
The 25-year-old had hoped to fire ADO Den Haag to the Eredivisie but they finished fourth in the second tier and were unable to qualify via the playoffs.
He brought an extra attacking dimension to the side, at one point scoring five goals in as many games.
In 38 games across all competitions for ADO Den Haag, he scored 12 and provided three assists.
But now a fresh challenge awaits as he targets further progression in his club and international career.
Scottish Premiership side Kilmarnock are also admirers of Bonis, however Chesterfield are among the English sides in the hunt for his signature.
In August last year the striker left Larne to join the Dutch side on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Bonis had joined Larne for a reported Irish League transfer fee of £100,000 in January 2022.
He netted 58 goals and contributed 28 assists in 118 games, establishing a great partnership with fellow forward Andy Ryan as Larne won back-to-back Irish Premiership titles.
Bonis has earned four Northern Ireland caps since making his debut in a scoreless draw against Belarus in Hungary last year in the Nations League. Goalkeeper Pierce Charles also made his senior international bow in that game.
The former Seagoe man made his first start in attack for Northern Ireland in the 1-1 draw against Switzerland at Windsor Park.
There is interest in Bonis from English and Scottish clubs but Chesterfield are hoping to seal a deal for the striker.

Rodgers aiming for big performance in first leg of 'huge' play-off tie
Brendan Rodgers says Celtic will be looking to 'set their standards' in the first leg of their Champions League play-off and to get a good result to take over to Kazakhstan. The Hoops take on Kairat Almaty for a place in Europe's top competition, and the manager is aiming for a good win at Parkhead to set themselves up for a daunting 7,000-mile trip to the Asian border. Rodgers, who is hoping the Scottish champions can add to their squad before next week's first leg, admits they would have preferred to play Slovan Bratislava, who they beat comfortably in the league phase last season. Kairat beat the Slovakian champions on penalties midweek and now stand between Celtic and another shot at the Champions League. Speaking to the media on Thursday, Rodgers said: 'If we're being honest, then everyone would have preferred the closer team, and not the longer journey. But it is what it is. We have been there before, and in the first leg we will want to make a real push to set our standards on that game, and then we will go over there the following week and look to qualify. 'It is such a huge game, and when it comes, we will be ready for it. 'When we get there, we will be prepared and ready. 'Hopefully, we can add to the team before then. We have right up until the night before the game to add to the squad, so we hope that can be the case. 'We hope that we can improve it, and hopefully by then, we will do. 'I'm philosophical about (bringing new players in), the club has always done business towards the end of the window, all managers and coaches want players in as soon as we can, because you want to be as prepared as you possibly can be. 'What I think has gone unnoticed a little bit is that we have made a really good start, we have two wins from two, played well, and I know we will get better, but I can't knock the performances over the two games to get the results. 'So I am just focusing on the guys that are here while lots of other stuff goes on in the background, and hopefully we can come out of the end of the transfer window in a good place.'
