SPORTING JOURNEY:

Jones start to his career at Carlton was met with poor form and he only managed 9 games in his first season with the Blues. He didn't play his first game for the 2016 season until Round 5 against Fremantle, where he kicked 2 crucial goals to see Carlton win by 4 points.
Going into the 2017 season, Jones' AFL career seemed in jeopardy and he was unexpected to play much senior football.
