An inside forward from Clerkenwell, London, Jones was in the Royal Navy and played for the Navy team before being signed by Arsenal in 1923. He spent just one season with the club, mainly as a reserve playing in the London Combination, but managed to make two First Division matches in the 1923-24 season, making his debut in a 4-1 defeat by Burnley at Turf Moor on 28 April 1924.
After leaving Arsenal, he had spells with Aberdare Athletic, Charlton Athletic and Blackpool.
