With Mark Hooper well established as the first-choice at outside-right,[3] the 1930–31 season also saw Jones only make one appearance, but this time he also managed to get his name on the scoresheet,[4] scoring Wednesday's only goal in a 4–1 away defeat to Manchester United.

Jones made his FA Cup debut for United on 26 January, playing in a 0–0 draw away to Nottingham Forest in the Fourth Round.

[6] At Vicarage Road, he became a popular figure with the fans[3] and he remained with Watford until the outbreak of the Second World War, after which he signed for Guildford City in June 1946.

Shortly after his breakthrough into the Sheffield Wednesday side in 1931, Jones was selected for the Welsh national team's final 1932 British Home Championship match against Ireland on 5 December 1931.

[2] In August 1946 Jones took up a coaching position at his former club Tranmere Rovers,[3] and he subsequently became manager for a short time prior to the appointment of Ernie Blackburn.
