Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

Jones first appeared in county cricket for Wales Minor Counties against Oxfordshire in the 2007 Minor Counties Championship,[2] while the following season he played his first match in the MCCA Knockout Trophy against Dorset.[3] In 2009 while studying for his degree in Sport and Physical Education at Cardiff Metropolitan University,[1] Jones played for Cardiff UCCE against county sides, though the matches were not rated as first-class.[4]

Having been a part of Glamorgan's Academy since 2005, he eventually made his first team debut for the county in a List A match against Somerset in the 2010 Clydesdale Bank 40. The following season he made further List A appearances,[5] as well as making his first-class debut against Surrey in the County Championship.[6] It was not in List A or first-class cricket that he had success in during the 2011 season, but in Twenty20 cricket instead. Making his debut in that format against Middlesex,[7] he went on to take 15 wickets in the 2011 Friends Provident t20, which came at 17.06 apiece with best figures of 3/16.[8]

Jones was released by Glamorgan after the expiry of his contract at the end of the 2013 season, after making only one county championship appearance in two years.[9]
