Is a Welsh footballer who plays as a centre-forward. Born in Wrexham, he began his career with his hometown club, making his debut during the 1990/91 season. He showed much potential, which in March 1992, earned him a move to Liverpool, aged 18. He failed to break into Liverpool's first team though, and made just four appearances in 5 years, due in part to suffering two broken legs. He was loaned out to Crewe, twice back to Wrexham, and in March 1997, to Tranmere Rovers. It was this loan spell that led to a permanent transfer, for £100,000 in May of the same year. He spent three years with Tranmere, the last of which saw them reach the League Cup final, but by this time Jones was out of favour, and was not involved in the final.
