Career

Club career

Born in Trefonen, Shropshire, Jones began his career with Chirk, with whom he won the Welsh Cup in 1887 and 1888, the latter as captain.[2][3] He was then persuaded to join Newton Heath.[1] However, he soon moved on to Bolton Wanderers in March 1889 after just two friendly appearances for the Heathens.[1] At Bolton, he captained the side in the 1894 FA Cup Final,[2] but finished on the losing side as Notts County defeated Wanderers 4–1. In ten years at Bolton, Jones made a total of 228 appearances and scored four goals, before moving to Manchester City, where his former Chirk team-mate Billy Meredith was a player.[1] He made his Manchester City debut against Luton Town on 8 October 1898.[4] In his first season at City the club won promotion to the First Division, the highest level of English football. He scored one goal in 114 appearances for City.

On 17 August 1902, Jones was playing in a pre-season practice match when he suffered a cut to his knee after falling on a piece of glass.[5] The wound became infected, and Jones died a few days later.

International career

Jones made his debut for the Wales national team on 3 March 1888, playing at right-half in an 11–0 victory over Ireland at Wrexham. In a 12-year international career, Jones made a total of 16 appearances, but two, against Canada in 1891, were uncapped. His final Wales appearance came on 26 March 1900, a 1–1 draw with England in which he played at right-back.[6]
