Lloyd Richard Jones (born 7 October 1995) is an English footballer who plays for Blackpool on loan from Liverpool as a defender.

Club career

Liverpool signed Lloyd Jones in May 2011 from the Plymouth Argyle for a sum of £150,000.[2] The large figure of Jones quickly became a regular starter for Liverpool's Under-21 squad during the 2012–13 season. He was rewarded with his good performances by earning a call up to the senior squad on 12 May 2013 for Liverpool's Premier League encounter against Fulham. He was an unused substitute in the 3–1 victory for Liverpool.[3] In July 2013, he signed his first professional deal with the club.[4]

Jones captained the Reserve team for the latter part of the 2013–14 campaign & throughout the 2014–15 season.

On 1 January, Lloyd Jones signed a 6 weeks loan deal with Cheltenham Town along with fellow reserve team mates Kevin Stewart and Jack Dunn.[5] He made his Cheltenham, and senior debut, on 3 January in a League Two match against Oxford United which saw Cheltenham win 2–1.[6][7][8]

On 12 March 2015, Jones joined Accrington Stanley on a 6 weeks loan.[9]

On 10 July 2015, Jones was loaned to Blackpool on youth loan,[10] which on 3 August was confirmed to be extended until the end of the season.[11]

International career

Jones is eligible to represent his birth country England as well as Wales through his Welsh father. He made eleven appearances for the Welsh under-17's scoring once. He earned one cap for the Welsh U19's before switching allegiance to England in October 2013, having rejected a call-up to the Welsh U21's.[12] He got called up for the England U19's for their 2014 UEFA European Under-19 Championship elite qualification matches in May 2014. Jones featured in all three matches. Four months later he made his debut for the U20's in a friendly against Romania. He has played four times for the U20's.
