On January 11, 2019, Bone was drafted 20th overall in the 2019 MLS SuperDraft by Seattle Sounders FC.[3] Due to his potential service commitments with the United States Air Force, Seattle would have to demonstrate a serious interest in Bone for him to qualify for a special military program that allows active duty service members to keep training as elite level athletes.[4]

On December 10, 2019, Bone joined USL Championship side Reno 1868 ahead of their 2020 season.[6] Reno folded their team on November 6, 2020, due to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[7]
