From Cross Hands, he started out at Tumble RFC, then played five seasons for the Scarlets at centre and fly-half before moving to Cardiff RFC in 1965. He also represented Oxford University where he won a Varsity Blue.
Jones was capped 10 times for Wales while at the Scarlets and toured South Africa with the British & Irish Lions in 1962, playing in three Tests. He also toured New Zealand and Australia in 1966 while a Cardifff player.
