A centre three–quarter, Jones captained his hometown club Swansea and was capped twice for Wales.[1] He debuted against a touring 1927–28 Australian team (made up of New South Wales players only), then was overlooked for the 1928 Five Nations, before returning for the final fixture in Paris.[2]
Jones served as both a selector and club president of Swansea.[3]
