Career[edit]

Port Vale[edit]

Jones made his first-team debut for Port Vale at the age of 17 whilst still a second-year youth team scholar, coming on as a half-time substitute for Brad Walker in a 1–0 win over Rochdale in an EFL Trophy group stage game at Vale Park on 5 October 2021.[4][5] manager Darrell Clarke said that he had done well in the game and that "he earned it [his debut], I don’t give them out for the sake of it. Some clubs do but I don’t agree with that".[6] He was then played in central defence by youth-team Coach Billy Paynter "to help him develop with more time on the ball", and was also given the captain's armband in youth-team games.[7] On 19 March 2022, Jones joined Northern Premier League Division One West side Newcastle Town on loan.[8] He played a total of five games for Newcastle.[9] He was not offered a professional contract when his youth-team contract expired in June 2022.[10]

Jones signed with Southern League Premier Division Central club Alvechurch, making three starts and four substitute appearances during the 2022–23 season.[11]

Jones is a central midfielder, though can also play at centre-back.[4]
