Career

Born in Stockport, England, Jones started his football career at his local team Ruthin Town, before moving to Bala Town and then Wrexham in 2017.

Huddersfield Town

[edit]

He joined the Huddersfield Town Academy in September 2019, before signing a professional contract in October 2020.[3] Because the transfer was across the England–Wales border, Jones had to wait for international clearance before joining the club, which came in January 2020.[4]

Jones made his senior debut for Huddersfield Town on 9 January 2021, starting in their 3–2 FA Cup Third Round defeat to Plymouth Argyle, before being replaced by Rolando Aarons.[5]

He scored his first goal for Huddersfield against Norwich City on 16 August 2022.[6]

Exeter City

[edit]

On 30 August 2024, Jones was signed by Exeter City on a one-year deal, with a club option of a second year, for an undisclosed fee.[7]

International

[edit]

Jones has played for Wales' Under-17 side.[4]

In June 2022, Jones played twice for the Wales U21 team in UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification matches against Netherlands U21 and Gibraltar U21.[8]
