Playing career
Jones played for Kidderminster Harriers, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Portsmouth, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion. During the war he guested for Portsmouth, Chelsea, Watford, Southend United, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Queen's Park Rangers, Crystal Palace, Northampton Town, Fulham and Exeter City. After the war he continued his career with Brentford and then Crewe Alexandra.
Management career
Jones had spells managing Swiss BSC Young Boys, Belgian Beerschot,[1] and Dutch side De Graafschap. He returned to England to become an F.A. staff coach at Lilleshall. He was appointed Port Vale's trainer-coach in June 1962, introducing revolutionary intensive training sessions for the players. He had to be taken off the pitch during his first match with the club after being struck by a bottle thrown from the crowd at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground. His approach of strict discipline was apparently not favoured by the board and he resigned for domestic reasons in October 1962.[2]
