A highly rated backman that can play tall or small, the Woodville-West Torrens SANFL Premiership player capped a remarkable 2020 by being snapped up by Port Adelaide at the NAB AFL Draft. A Next Generation Academy member, the club was already familiar with the Bute-raised product and he was quick to debut – making his first appearance for the club in the side’s Round 4 win against Richmond.
Laid back but confident, Jones reads the play well and can take a high mark. It’s his booming right foot however that often steals the show. Jones became an instant fan favourite, however suffered an injury-riddle year that saw him manage only 6 games. With a body that is already AFL-level, Jones’ explosiveness and ferocious attack on the ball has him poised to have a bigger and better season in 2022.
