Jones joined First Division Wolverhampton Wanderers in June 1900, aged 23.
He made his first team debut on 2 September 1901 in a 2–0 win v Nottingham Forest (at Molineux, the first of 111 consecutive appearances.
Playing as a full-back, he missed only a handful of games during that decade, setting a club record of 5 ever-present seasons in the process.
He was part of Wolves' 1908 FA Cup triumph, when they defeated Newcastle United in the final to become the lowest ranked Football League side ever to win the trophy (after finishing 9th in the second tier).
An ankle injury in 1910 effectively ended his playing career, although he did not formally retire until 1913.
