After playing a half year for La Equidad he went in January 2015 to play for San Martín (San Juan) in San Juan, Argentina, again an accident happened while training and Matias broke in May 2015 his leg and needed undergoing surgery.
In January 2016, Jones returned again to his country, but now to play for River Plate.
In February 2019, he returned to Netherlands to play for Eerste Divisie side SC Cambuur.
