Having grown up in the centre of Liverpool, Jones joined Liverpool at the age of nine. After making his U23s debut in January 2018, Jones signed his first professional contract on 1 February 2018. He was named in Liverpool's squad for the Premier League match against Everton on 7 April 2018 and was included on the substitute bench without making an appearance. Jones featured prominently for Liverpool during pre-season ahead of the 2018–19 season. Manager Jürgen Klopp praised his mobility and dribbling skills. Jones made his first team debut on 7 January 2019, in the FA Cup third round against Wolverhampton Wanderers. His second competitive match for the club came on 25 September2019 in an EFL Cup match against Milton Keynes Dons where he was chosen as Player of the Match. He then scored the winning penalty in Liverpool's EFL Cup penalty shoot-out victory against Arsenal. He made his Premier League debut on 7 December 2019, from the substitute's bench, against AFC Bournemouth. On 5 January 2020, Jones was part of a Liverpool team largely made up of teenagers and reserves that defeated rivals Everton 1–0 in the FA Cup at Anfield, with Jones scoring the winning goal – his first goal for the club – with a curling strike from 20 yards. At 18 years and 340 days, Jones is the youngest goalscorer in the Merseyside derby since Robbie Fowler scored for Liverpool in 1994. In the next round three weeks later, he scored again to open a 2–2 draw at Shrewsbury Town, becoming the first teenager to net in consecutive games for the Reds since Raheem Sterling in April 2014. On 5 February 2020, Jones became Liverpool's youngest ever captain – at 19 years and 5 days – when he captained Liverpool's youngest ever first team side with an average age of 19 years and 102 days to a 1–0 victory over Shrewsbury in the FA Cup replay at Anfield. On 4 July 2020, Jones signed a new long-term contract with the club. A day later he scored his first league goal for the club after coming on as a substitute in a 2–0 win over Aston Villa, latching on to Mohamed Salah's header to score past goalkeeper Pepe Reina. After his performances in the 2019/20 season, it was announced that he is to take up the number 17 shirt for the upcoming 2020/21 season, previously worn by Steven Gerrard and Steve McManaman. On 22 July 2020, Jones came off the bench against Chelsea to secure his Premier League medal after he made five top-flight appearances in the 2019–20 season with Liverpool. On 30 July 2020, Jones has been named the Premier League 2Player of the Season for 2019-20 ahead of five other nominees: Liam Cullen, Billy Gilmour, Jahmal Hector-Ingram, Nathan Holland and Rayhaan Tulloch.
