Brett Andrew Jones (born 6 August 1982) is an Australian rules footballer in the AFL, playing for the West Coast Eagles.

Cricket career

As a junior, Jones was a cricketer who represented his state at under-19 level. A batsman, Jones was then drafted to the Western Warriors squad, where he represented the 2nd XI. He never made his first-class debut, and focused on Australian rules instead.

Football career

Brett was drafted pick 9 in the 2003 rookie draft after impressing as a medium height defender for Claremont in the WAFL.

In 2004, he was temporarily promoted from the rookie list after a long term injury to a fellow team mate. He played 8 games that season, including an impressive debut, gathering 19 disposals and 7 marks, in the round 7 loss to Melbourne.

At the end of 2004, leading into the 2005 pre-season, he was permanently elevated of the rookie list, and went on to play 22 games in the 2005 season, missing the round 22 game against Adelaide, as well as the preliminary final against Adelaide and the losing grand final against Sydney.

In 2006, he started of the season slowly playing on 4 of the first 14 games and spending extended stints playing for Claremont in the WAFL. He later ended up regaining his place in the team and from round 15 onwards he played the rest of the home and away season, missin only the round 19 clash against North Melbourne. He was initially dropped but ended up playing as a late inclusion (due to injuries to some of his teammates) for the 2006 qualifying final against Sydney and managed to hold his spot for the following finals games, including the memorable grand final victory over Sydney, which West Coast won by one point.

Continuing from his efforts in the successful 2006 final series, he had a breakout season in 2007, in which he cemented his spot in the team playing all 24 games for the club and impressing as a versatile rebounding defender that could also perform a lock-down job on opposition forwards of varying sizes. He played his 50th AFL game in the round 5 victory over Richmond.

Rugby career

Brett played scrum half for the Abbey park Eagles from 2005-present. Also played for thhe Oakville Crusaders from 2006-present as scrum half.
