Jones began his career with West Bromwich Albion, and in 2015 spent time with Grimsby Town of the National League. A loan move to A-League club Wellington Phoenix in 2016 fell through because of an administrative error by New Zealand Football. He joined Port Vale on a five-month loan deal in August 2016, and signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Bradford City the following January. He left Bradford in 2019, following a loan spell at Cambridge United. He spent the 2019–20 season with Scottish club Partick Thistle and later signed with Northampton Town in March 2021. He joined Tamworth in November 2021 and helped the club to the Southern League Premier Division Central title at the end of the 2022–23 season. Tamworth won the National League North title the following season, though Jones spent some of the campaign away on loan at Stourbridge.
