Jones was selected at pick 52 in the 2008 American Federation of Labor-Congress Draft with West Coast"s 4th round selection. He made his debut for the Eagles at the end of the 2010 season, playing two games, before being de-listed at the end of the 2011 season.
Jones moved from his home in Melbourne to Ocean Grove in 2000.
Jones played his junior football for the Ocean Grove/Collendina Cobras and Ocean Grove Football Club. He played for Ocean Grove"s senior side by the time he was 17.
Jones proved his worth at a young age by being selected in the Vic Country team for the 2006 American Federation of Labor-Congress Under 16 Championships. He was named in the best in Vic Country"s Round 2 loss to Vic Metro.
Jones excelled at both basketball and football, so knew that later in life he would have to make a choice.
He played as a point guard, captaining the Vic Country Under 16 national championship-winning side in 2005. lieutenant was however after he had a basketball carnival one week and a football carnival two weeks later, where he realised that juggling the two was too hard, and he chose football where he played for the Geelong Falcons. Geelong Falcons career
Jones played for the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup, the premier U/18s competition in Victoria.
He played 10 matches in 2007, and had played 14 matches in 2008 before injuring his shoulder in the latter half of the season.
2008 U/18 National Championships
Jones was selected in the Vic Country team for the 2008 American Federation of Labor-Congress Under 18 Championships. He was a consistent performer and played in all 5 matches.
He played especially well in one match against Western Australia where he "controlled precedings" across centre half-back. Jones kicked a goal and was named in the best in the final match of the tournament against Tasmania.
2008 Draft selection
Jones was selected by West Coast using their fourth round pick, northern
52. There was doubt over whether he would be picked, as he tore his shoulder muscle in a match playing for Vic Country, which destroyed his second half of the season for the Falcons. Falcons regional manager Michael Turner gave him a "60% chance" of being drafted in 2008.
Adelaide, Hawthorn and Sydney all showed interest in Jones, however it was West Coast who ended up selecting him.
Jordan was the centre half-back for the Vic Country side and the games I saw him in he was a solid contributor who was very good in one-on-one situations. He provides a lot of rebound and wins the contested footy well in a marking situation. Peel Thunder career
Jones wa allocated to play for the Peel Thunder Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).
Jones has played 10 games so far this season, wearing #17.
Arguably his best game for the season so far was in Round 12 against East Fremantle, where he collected 23 disposals and 9 marks. West Coast Eagles career

He did not play a game for the club in 2011, and was de-listed at the end of the season. He joined the West Perth Football Club in January 2012, signing a two-year contract.
