Jones began his career with Astor Institute in the Plymouth area but had to wait until 1947 to play for Football League Second Division club Plymouth Argyle due to the Second World War. He made his debut against Coventry City in May 1947 and would go on to virtually monopolize the left back position for the following 10 years.[1] Described as consistent, reliable, and honest, Jones would go on to make 441 appearances for the Pilgrims in all competitions, scoring two goals. After a distinguished career with the club, he moved into non-league football with St Austell at the age of 37. Unfortunately little else is known about him after his retirement.
