There is little information recorded about Jones, and no place of birth is recorded with the Welsh Rugby Union,[1] though his nickname of "Bala" could refer to the town of Bala, as this was a common way to differentiate people with the surname Jones in Wales.
[3] Jones won just a single cap for Wales, and at the time has returned to Wales and was playing rugby for Aberavon, becoming the third player to win a cap whilst representing the club after Dan Jones and Alfred Brice.
Jones' international debut was in the opening game of the 1901 Home Nations Championship, played at the Cardiff Arms Park against England.
Jones, the only new cap in the team that day,[2] was brought in as a replacement for Lou Phillips, and was partnered at half-back with Newport's Llewellyn Lloyd.
Wales won the match with an impressive 13-0 score line, but with a disappointing displays from the Welsh pack and Billy Bancroft at full-back.
