Belfast Giants strengthen roster with signing of Great Britain defenceman
The GB star, a dual national having been born in Walsall but grown up in Canada, makes the switch from fellow Elite League side Guildford Flames for the new season, joining Brandon Whistle in moving to the SSE Arena during the off-season. A reliable blue-liner, Jones was part of the Grand Slam-winning Sheffield Steelers in the 2023/24 season and has been a mainstay in the Elite League since joining Fife Flyers in 2019, putting up four goals and nine points in 30 games in Kirkcaldy. That preceded a four-season stay in Sheffield, culminating in the Grand Slam two seasons ago, and his performances at the Utilita Arena saw him called up to the GB squad for the first time in 2021, going on to make 33 appearances at international level, 10 of which have come in the World Championships. In the 2024/25 season, the 28-year-old started off in Romania with CSM Corona Brasov, however Jones later moved back to the Flames in mid-season to anchor their defence, scoring three goals and six points in 16 games for Paul Dixon's men. Now the right-shot defenceman brings his talents to Belfast, joining Bo Hanson and Josh Roach in the line-up and providing head coach Adam Keefe with another excellent option on the back end for their Elite League and Challenge Cup title defences.
