Jones played for Aberaman and had trials at Cardiff City and Norwich City before moving to Plymouth Argyle as an amateur during the 1947–48 season. He signed as a professional in May 1948, but moved on to Watford without appearing in the League.[2]
Jones joined Watford in August 1949. He made 16 appearances, scoring three goals, during the 1947–48 season, including a goal in Watford's FA Cup win against amateur club Bromley on 26 November 1949. He was released at the end of the season.[2]
He moved to Bath City for the 1950–51 season, where he joined fellow new recruits Tommy Edwards, Wilson Fairweather and George Adams. A local paper commented that "although signed as an outside right, he is a useful centre-forward".[3]
