College career
Jones played for four seasons at Michigan State, and was captain of the Spartans team that reached the semifinals of the 2018 College Cup. He was named to the second team in the Big Ten Conference, alongside future Revolution teammate Justin Rennicks, and started all 23 of their games in 2018, tallying 5 goals and 5 assists. He scored 7 goals and had 6 assists the season prior, as a junior, and was named to the second team in the Big Ten that season as well. Jones performed well at the MLS Combine ahead of the 2019 MLS SuperDraft, placing first in the combine's speed and agility tests, and third in the vertical jump. After scoring a goal in a scrimmage that day, his draft stock rose from being picked late in the first round, to as high as sixth overall on multiple mock drafts.
Jones was selected with the 11th overall pick of the 2019 MLS SuperDraft by the New England Revolution, the club's second selection of the draft, after Tajon Buchanan. After playing a full preseason with the Revolution, Jones signed a contract with the club on February 25, five days ahead of their season opening fixture. Named in the match-day squad for the first two games, Jones did not make his debut until the Revolution's fourth game, at home to expansion side FC Cincinnati on March 24. Jones replaced left-back Edgar Castillo towards the end of the match as the Revolution tried to overcome a two-goal deficit, the game finishing 2–0. On March 30th, 2019 Jones made his first career start for the Revolution. He recorded two shots, including one shot on goal and the game winning assist en route to a 2-1 victory over Minnesota. He currently is second on the team in assists for the 2019 season.
