Will Jones (born 12 March 1998) is a Welsh former professional rugby union player who previously played for Ospreys as a flanker. He was a Wales under-20 international.

Jones competed at the 2015 European Cadet Judo Championships. [2] [3]

Jones made his debut for the Ospreys in 2016 having previously played for the Ospreys academy and Swansea RFC. Jones was released by the Ospreys, and moved to England in hopes of attracting a Premiership contract, which ultimately did not occur. [4]

While attending Durham University, Jones was convicted of grievous bodily harm in December 2022, and sentenced to community service in addition to paying a fine to his victim. [5] Jones later played for Darlington Mowden Park R.F.C., and was named captain in 2023. [6]
