Like Philipp, he began playing soccer at Eintracht Freising , where he was trained by his father. From there he moved to the youth department of FC Bayern Munich in 1996 ; with the B youth team he won the German B junior championship on July 20, 1997 in Unterhaching with the 3-0 victory over the B youth team from Werder Bremen. For the 2000/01 season he moved up to the second team and gained first match practice in the third-rate Regionalliga Süd . After two seasons he moved to the second division club LR Ahlen and played 32 of 34 league games in which he scored his only goal as a professional on August 18, 2002 (2nd match day) in a 4-1 win in the away game against FC St. Pauli . In the following season it was no longer used often, was sorted out at the end of the season and remained without a club from November 2003 to January 2005.

In early 2005, Bönig joined 1. FC Union Berlin and completed a total of 134 competitive games for the club by the end of the 2008/09 season - most recently in the third division - in which he scored nine goals. In 2006 he contributed in 26 league games in the fourth-class Oberliga Nordost for immediate promotion to the Regionalliga Nord . In the 2006/07 season he led the team as team captain to keep up and win the association cup . However, he lost his position as team captain under the new coach Uwe Neuhaus in the following season and was no longer a regular player in the 2008/09 season . Therefore, in December 2008, a change of club was suggested to him by the club's management, which he did not take advantage of.

In June 2009 Bönig's contract was not extended, whereupon he ended his career as a professional footballer at the age of 27 in order to venture a new professional start as a co-operator of a sports leisure facility in Erding. As a reason, he stated that apart from 1. FC Union Berlin, no other football club would come into question for him. After unsuccessful operator of the plant, he stopped working in Erding and returned to Berlin. He played the first half of the 2011/12 season for the upper division side BFC Viktoria 1889 before finally ending his active football career.
