The former Montpellier, Deportivo La Coruna and Bordeaux player arrived in Scotland on a 6 month contract during the winter transfer window of season 2002/03, Manager Alex McLeish having been keen to secure additional cover for Arthur Numan.
Making his debut as a late substitute in a 2-1 win over Aberdeen, he would soon find himself promoted to the starting line up in league matches against Livingston and Celtic.
Despite tasting defeat at Parkhead, Jerome retained his place in the starting line up as Rangers gained revenge over their fiercest rivals the following weekend to clinch the League Cup at Hampden.
It was the first step towards a sensational Treble.
With Arthur Numan confirming that he would not be signing a new contract on vastly reduced terms, Bonnissel publicly declared he was keen to extend his stay in Glasgow beyond the summer.
However, he would not feature again following on from that League Cup victory and eventually signed for Fulham.
