Mark Jones (born 15 August 1984 in Wrexham) is a Welsh footballer who is currently without a club after being released by Wrexham. Despite being a midfielder, he was one of the club's most regular goalscorers, with a ratio of 0.2 goals per game as of the end of the 2005-06 season.[1].
He joined Wrexham as a trainee on 1 August 2002. He made his debut in the 2002-03 season, but only became an established player 2 seasons later. He has become particularly popular at the club as one of the most talented local players, and as a scorer of some spectacular long-range goals.
As well as making several appearances for Wales Under-21's, he has been called up to the senior Wales squad on two occasions. He made his international debut in a friendly against Liechtenstein on 14 November 2006.
Following Wrexham's relegation from Football League Two, Jones, who had already declared his intention to leave the club, was released at the end of the 2007–08 season.[2]
On 31 May 2008 Jones went on trail to Finish side FC Haka but a move didnt occur but to the player not liking the weather. He returned to England in the hope of earning a contract in the Football League with Port Vale a likely destination for the goal scoring midfielder.
He was also named in the Wales National squad ahead of experienced pros such as Robert Earnshaw for games against Iceland and Netherlands.
