Born in Merthyr Tydfil, Jones worked in Merthyr Vale Colliery as a teenager while playing football for Troedyrhiw Boy's Club.[1] He began his career with Cardiff City in 1952. He spent two years in the club's reserve side before making his professional debut on 13 September 1954 in a 3–1 victory over Sheffield United in place of the injured Billy Baker.[2] He made 23 appearances in all competitions during his first season but fell out of favour the following year, losing his place to Colin Baker.[3] He left the club at the end of the season, moving into non-league football before retiring due to a knee injury.[2] He later worked in a Hoover factory in Pentrebach for over 30 years.[1]
