James Jones

On 1 May 2018, Jones signed a new two-year contract until summer 2020. At Milton Keynes on 19 January 2019, Jones suffered a suspected broken fibula (later diagnosed as severe lateral ligament damage) that ruled him out for six weeks.

In April 2017, Crewe triggered a contract clause keeping Jones at Crewe until June 2018. In August 2017, a potential transfer to an unnamed Championship side was postponed due to concerns about a prolonged recovery from a hernia operation and a related pelvis issue. In mid-November 2017, he resumed light running on grass, having suffered some set-backs in his rehabilitation, but he suffered a medial ligament injury in training and in January 2018 was ruled out for the rest of the season, though he recovered to make six appearances, scoring once, before the season's end.

After making six appearances for Scotland U19s, Jones was selected to play for Scotland in the U21 European Championship qualifiers against Iceland and Macedonia in October 2016. He played the full 90 minutes of Scotland U21s' 2–0 defeat by Iceland in Reykjavík on 5 October, and 88 minutes of the following game, a 2–0 defeat by Macedonia in Skopje on 11 October. He then played in two friendlies: the November 2016 match against Slovakia and the March 2017 match against Estonia.

Jones was born in Dundee. He made his first-team debut for Crewe Alexandra as a 76th-minute substitute for Danny Haynes in Crewe Alexandra's 1–1 away draw to Crawley Town on 1 November 2014. He scored his first Crewe goal in a 3–2 win at Colchester United on 7 February 2015.
