Club Rugby
After returning from the war, Jones looked for rugby clubs to join. During the end of the 1945/46 season Jones managed to play a few games for both Blaenavon and Pontypool, and when the 1946/47 season opened he applied for a trial for Newport at Rodney Parade and managed to get a place in the first XV. Jones spent the rest of his career with Newport, playing just one game for the Leicester Tigers during the 1948/49 season. Jones captained Newport over two seasons in 1950/51 and 1953/54. His captaincy during the 1950/51 season was particularly memorable when Newport won the Welsh Club Championship for the first time since 1922/23.

Famous quotes containing the word club:
“The creation of “strong-minded” women, so-called, is due to the individualism of men, to the modern selfish and speculative spirit which absorbs everything within itself and leaves women nothing but self-assertion for their protection and support.”
