Club career

Jones notably played in the Premier League for Sheffield Wednesday, as well as a loan spell with Scunthorpe United. He finished his career with non-league side Worksop Town, where he retired through injury.

International career

Born in England, Jones was eligible to represent Wales because his grandfather was born in Ynys Môn. ^[1] On 2 February 1994, Jones represented Wales B at The Racecourse against Scotland B. He played the whole game in a 2-1 victory. ^[2]

At the end of the 1993-94 season Jones won his only full cap in a match against Estonia in 1994 when a host of Welsh midfielders dropped out. ^[3]
