Alfie Charles Jones (born 7 October 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender or midfielder for club Hull City.
Jones grew up in Long Ashton, a small village on the outskirts of Bristol. He attended Backwell School and played at the Southampton Academy in Bath.
Jones played on loan for Scottish Premiership club St Mirren during the 2018–19 season, but the agreement was terminated by St Mirren in January 2019.[3]
On 2 July 2019, Jones signed a season-long loan with Gillingham.[4] During his spell with the club, he made 36 appearances in all competitions.[5]
On 4 September 2020, Jones joined League One side Hull City for an undisclosed fee, signing a one-year deal.[6] He made his debut for the club on 8 September 2020, in the 1–2 loss to Leicester City U21 in the first round match of the EFL Trophy.[7] On 18 May 2021, the club announced that they had exercised the option of a one-year contract extension for Jones.[8] On 9 June 2021, Hull City announced that Jones had signed a new two-year contract, with the club having the option of a further year.[9]
On 23 April 2022, Jones scored his first goal for the Tigers, netting the second of three goals in Hull's 3–0 home win over Reading.[10] The following season, on 2 May 2023, Jones was decorated with Hull's Player of the Year award, as decided by head coach, Liam Rosenior.[11] On 17 May 2023, Jones signed a new three-year deal with the club.[12]
Having been used mostly as a defender prior to his arrival at Gillingham, Jones spent most of his time with the League One club playing as a midfielder.[13] However, since moving to Hull City, he has since returned to being a defender.[12] In 2023, then Hull coach Liam Rosenior highlighted Jones' interceptions, blocks, and ball-playing ability as being amongst his best attributes.[12]
