Biography
The 27-year-old brings a wealth of Elite Ice Hockey League (EIHL) and international experience to the Giants’ defensive core, having iced for Romanian side CSM Corona Brasov and the Guildford Flames during the 2024/25 season. A composed, mobile defenceman with a strong physical edge, Jones is widely regarded as one of most reliable British blueliners in the EIHL – known for his skating ability, sharp positional sense, and dependable play at both ends of the ice.
Originally born in Walsall and raised in Canada, Jones made his EIHL debut with the Fife Flyers in 2019 before spending a combined four seasons with the Sheffield Steelers and Guildford Flames, helping the former secure the Elite League, Challenge Cup, and Elite League Playoff titles in the 2023/24 season. Jones has also been a regular fixture with the Great Britain men’s national team, representing his country at the International Ice Hockey Federation World Championships, bringing valuable international experience to the Giants’ lineup.
Throughout his EIHL career, Jones has developed a reputation as a steady, all-situations defenceman – equally comfortable logging power play time or shutting down opposing forwards on the penalty kill. His physical presence and hockey IQ make him a tough matchup for opponents, while his ability to transition the puck effectively helps drive offence from the defensive zone.
