## Youth career

## Club career

At Bangor City Girls, aged 15, Jones scored the equalising goal in the 1995 FAW Women's Cup final at the National Stadium in Cardiff, a game they went on to lose on penalties. She also scored the third goal for Bangor when Bangor won the Cup for the first time in 1997, beating Newcastle Emlyn 3 - 0 in Aberystwyth.
In 1998, aged 18, she signed for English champions Everton Ladies. She scored 7 goals in her first season, including the winning goal in the League Cup semi final against Tranmere Rovers.
In 1999, she scored a penalty as Everton beat Arsenal via a penalty shoot-out in the inaugural, unofficial, women's charity shield, played at Wembley immediately before the men's charity shield.
In 2000, she returned to Bangor City, winning back to back Welsh cups, scoring a brace in the 2001 final (a 3-0 win against Newport County) and Bangor's second as they again bested County in the 2002 final and played in the 2002–03 UEFA Women's Cup.
In 2002 she signed for Liverpool, helping them to the 2003–04 FA Women's Premier League Northern Division title. She remained with Liverpool for their season in the top-flight, making 18 starts and scoring once, but left the club after their relegation at the end of the season.
For the 2005-06 season, she returned to Caernarfon Town L.F.C. (which Bangor City Girls had become) where she remained until her retirement in 2011.

Jones earned her first cap for Wales aged 16 against Scotland on the 24th March 1996, three days after her sixteenth birthday.
