Career edit

College and amateur edit

Jones grew up in Dallas, Texas, where he attended Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas. He then attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, playing on the men's college soccer team from 2003 to 2006. He was a 2004 second team All American and a 2005 first team All American.[1][2] In 2004, he began playing for the Carolina Dynamo of the USL Premier Development League during the collegiate off season.[3]

Professional edit

On January 12, 2007, FC Dallas selected Jones in the third round (28th overall) in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. Dallas announced they had signed Jones on March 28, 2007.[4] He played four games, scoring two goals, with the Dallas reserves, but saw no first team time.[5] The team gave him a trial in February 2008, but he decided to leave on March 2, 2008. He signed with the Puerto Rico Islanders of the USL First Division that same year.[6]

International edit

Jones was called up to the Puerto Rico national team in September 2011. As a United States citizen, he is eligible to the national team after residing in the Commonwealth for more than two years while playing with the Puerto Rico Islanders. He got his first cap in a 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification stage match against Saint Kitts and Nevis on September 2, 2011, which ended in a 0–0 draw.
