Bony has learned a lot from his dad - Jardim

- Published
Newport County head coach Nelson Jardim says he was made to feel old after giving a debut to new signing Geoffroy Bony in Saturday's goalless draw at Notts County.
The 19-year-old is the son of former Ivory Coast international Wilfried Bony, who played for Manchester City, Swansea City and Stoke City.
And like his old man, Bony plays up front.
Bony spent several weeks training with the Exiles before signing a deal last week.
"He’s been working with us hard, he’s just a nice boy, and Geoff just shows how old I am getting," joked Jardim.
"When I heard our fans singing his dad’s song, it brought me good memories, very good memories indeed."
Asked how Bony Jr compared to his father, Jardim said: "He’s not even half [as good] yet, but it’s about progression and moving forwards.
"His dad was a different player obviously. He’s learned a lot off his dad, he’s got good genes and mainly he’s a very good boy. Wilfried has done a good job."
