During the war he guested for Portsmouth, Chelsea, Watford, Southend United, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Queen's Park Rangers, Crystal Palace, Northampton Town, Fulham and Exeter City.

{He also made 1 wartime guest appearance for Clapton Orient in the 1941-42 season. Source: Neilson N. Kaufman, honorary historian to Leyton Orient FC. October 2014. After the war he continued his career with Brentford and then Crewe Alexandra.

Management career

Jones managed Swiss side BSC Young Boys, leading the club to a seventh-place finish in the Nationalliga A in 1950–51. After leaving the Wankdorf Stadium, he took charge at Belgian club Beerschot.^[2] He later took charge at Dutch club De Graafschap.

He was appointed Port Vale's trainer-coach in June 1962, introducing revolutionary intensive training sessions for the players.^[3] He had to be taken off the pitch during his first match with the club after being struck by a bottle thrown from the crowd at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground.^[3] His approach of strict discipline was apparently not favoured by the board and he resigned his post at Vale Park for domestic reasons in October 1962.^[3]
