Ryan Mark Jones (born 23 May 2002) is an English footballer who plays as a defender or midfielder for National League club Aldershot Town.

Career

[edit]

Jones broke through at Weston-super-Mare during the 2019–20 season, being named on the bench for a large proportion of fixtures. On 26 October 2019, Jones scored his first senior goal in a 3–2 FA Trophy defeat to AFC Totton. His goal in the 6th minute of extra time gave his side a 2–1 lead before Totton responded twice to win the match and progress.[2] His first league goal came in February 2020 with the fifth goal in a 5–0 thrashing of Wimborne Town.[3]

Bristol Rovers

[edit]

On 16 October 2020, Jones joined League One side Bristol Rovers for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal before immediately being loaned back to Weston-super-Mare for the season.[4]

Jones enjoyed somewhat of a breakthrough pre-season heading into the 2021–22 season and on 10 August 2021, made his debut when he came off of the bench in a 2–0 EFL Cup defeat to Cheltenham Town.[5] He scored his first goal for the club in a 5–3 EFL Trophy defeat to Exeter City, also assisting his side's third goal.[6]

On 18 February 2022, Jones joined National League South side Bath City on a one-month loan deal,[7] making his debut the following day in a 2–0 defeat to Dartford.[8] On 21 March, this loan was extended until the end of the season.[9]

On 26 September 2022, Jones signed for National League South club Hungerford Town on a one-month loan deal.[10] With the deal having been extended until the end of the season, Jones impressed in Hungerford's relegation battle, being described as "one of the best talents" his manager had worked with. Having started the loan spell at left back, he was moved further forward, allowing him to add more goals to his game as well as improving on his physicality.[11] His form saw him named the club's player of the month award for March 2023.[12] The season ended with Hungerford's relegation being confirmed on 22 April 2023 following a 1–1 draw with Dulwich Hamlet,[13] the season bringing individual success however, as he was awarded with the club's Young Player of the Season award following the match.[14] He was offered a new contract by Bristol Rovers in May 2023,[15] signing a one-year deal on 9 June.[16]

On 1 September 2023, Jones joined National League club Bromley on loan until 7 January 2024.[17] Injuries meant that he had to wait until 7 October to make his debut for the club, starting a 2–2 draw with York City.[18] On 8 January 2024, his loan was extended until the end of the season.[19] In February 2024, Bristol Rovers manager Matt Taylor confirmed that the player was back training with his parent club having been told he was no longer needed by Bromley.[20] He was released at the end of the 2023–24 season.[21]

Aldershot Town

[edit]

On 1 July 2024, Jones joined National League club Aldershot Town on a two-year deal.[22]
