He was partly Krio Fernandino as his paternal grandfather was a descendant from Liberated Africans who had moved to Fernando Poo from Sierra Leone.
[3] Jones began his career with local sides Barakaldo[4] and Indautxu,[5] where his teammates included the veteran Lezama and another emerging young player, Chus Pereda.
Jones and Pereda, and later a third Indautxu player, José Eulogio Gárate, were all controversially rejected by Athletic Bilbao because the club's signing policy required for them to be born in Biscay; he maintained throughout his life that his rejection was not due to racism, as the other shunned players were white.
He scored again in the 1962 final as Atlético beat Fiorentina 3–0 after a replay but finished on the losing side when they lost 5–1 to Tottenham Hotspur in 1963.
[7][8] After retiring as a player he returned to live in Bilbao and served as a director at SD Indautxu.
