Career
Born in Berinsfield, Jones began his career with his hometown club Oxford United where he was part of the side that won consecutive promotions to help the side reach the Second Division.[2] He joined Swindon Town in October 1986 for £30,000,[3] again winning promotion to the Second Division in his first season. However, persistent injury problems resulted in a move to Cardiff City in the Fourth Division but, struggling to overcome his injuries, he was eventually released in May 1992.[2]
