Before joining Swindon, Jones made one of the longest transfers in British football history, moving from Weymouth to Aberdeen. It was Lou Macari who brought him to the County Ground at the beginning of the 1988/1989 season, and he made his debut in the League Cup, coming on as a substitute in a 2-1 home defeat by Crystal Palace on 27th September 1988. His league debut came just four days later, when he scored the winning goal in a 3-2 win at Watford. He didn't miss another game all season. Jones played a major role in the promotion-winning season of 1989/1990, making 46 appearances, including the Play-Off final versus Sunderland. He was a regular member of the squad for the following two seasons, before Glenn Hoddle sold him to local rivals Reading shortly before the 1992/1993 season, in a swap deal that brought Craig Maskell to Swindon. Jones made a short comeback to the County Ground in 1999, when manager Jimmy Quinn, an old friend of Jones from their times together at Reading, appointed him as the club's youth team coach. The stay was short-lived, as Quinn was sacked at the end of the season - Jones staying in the area to play semi-professionally for Swindon Supermarine. PLAYING RECORD:
