Hailing from Pontneddfechan, Jones was the son of Wales forward Howell Jones and attended Neath County School. He earned representative honours for Wales Elementary Schools and Wales Secondary Schools in the early 1920s, while his earliest senior rugby was with Neath Wanderers, which he captained for two seasons.[1] [2]
Jones, a wing three-quarter joined Swansea at the end of 1929, and was made a Wales reserve for the 1930 Five Nations, aided by a five-try performance against Skewen. He got his first cap in Wales' third fixture, against Ireland at Swansea, when Ronnie Boon withdrew with illness, then was capped again for the final match in France.[3]
