Jones plays netball as either goal defence or wing defence.[1] She began her career at Mold Netball Club, and she captained the Welsh national teams at under-17 and under-21 youth level. She also played for Manchester Thunder Youth and Junior Dragons.[3] She was also Co-Captain of the Wales Senior Team.[2]

She was captain of the Celtic Dragons for their 2019 Super League season.[4]

During the 2021-2022 season she captained the Celtic Dragons, before moving to play for the Leeds Rhinos in the 2022-2023 season.[5] For the 2023-2024 season she returned to Cardiff Dragons[6] (renamed from the Celtic Dragons in August 2023).[7]

Jones played for the Welsh Feathers, and was a squad member at the 2013 Netball Europe Open Championship where they won Gold.[8] She was also part of Team Wales at the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games. In 2015, she was not selected for the Netball World Cup team due to clashes between netball training and an international football fixture. In 2017, she was selected for the Celtic Flames, playing in an International Super Cup competition.[9]

She was captain of the Welsh Feathers during the 2023 Netball World Cup, hosted in South Africa.[10]

In 2024, after the Cardiff Dragons failed to renew her contract for the 2024-2025 season, she decided not to trial for the Welsh National Team, and subsequently announced her retirement from professional netball.[11]

Football career

Jones began her career at Northop Hall Girls, and played for Wales at under-17, under-19 and under-21 level before scoring on her senior debut aged 18, as a substitute in an 8-1 victory over Bulgaria in 2010.[2]

She played club football for Cardiff City, before moving to Reading in the FAWSL in July 2015.[12] She left Reading when her contract expired in 2016.[13] She has also played numerous times at senior international level for Wales.[14] Since 2018, Jones has been a regular pundit and co-commentator at Welsh International matches on behalf of BBC Sport Wales, having also attended the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

On 5 September 2024, Jones signed for Adran Premier club Swansea City on a semi-professional contract for the upcoming season.[15]
