After four years in Shrewsbury's youth system, he signed his first professional contract in October 2015, for two years with option for a third.[3]

On 30 January 2016, he had his first call-up to the senior squad, remaining unused in an FA Cup fourth round 3–2 home win over Sheffield Wednesday.[4] Jones made his first team and Football League debut on 8 May, the final day of the 2015–16 season, coming on as a 58th-minute substitute for Andy Mangan in a 3–0 League One loss away to Swindon Town.[5]
