Career

Jones started his senior career at Lancashire Lynx after being signed from amateur club Hindley. He moved to Super League side Wigan Warriors in 1999 for a transfer fee believed to be around £35,000.[2] He spent three seasons at the club before switching to rugby union in 2001. In May 2002 Clive Woodward called up Jones to the England squad for the non-cap test against the Barbarians.[3]

He returned to rugby league for one season to play for Leigh Centurions in 2005.
