After coming through the youth system since being a 12 year old, Jones signed his first professional contract with Doncaster Rovers in March 2017.[3][4] This was extended in March 2018,[5] then further in January 2019 for 18 months,[6] and again in July 2020, until 2022.[7][3]

Following several loan moves, Jones made his first team debut in the EFL Trophy on 8 September 2020 against Bradford City,[8] where he saved a penalty in the shoot out at the end of the 0–0 draw.

He played his first League game in the 2-1 Doncaster win over Portsmouth on 2 March 2021 as Andy Butler took over managing the team.[9]
