Forced to retire from rugby due to injury in October 2015, Jones returned to the fold at the beginning of the 2016/17 season in a technical coaching role with the primary focus on development of the team’s attacking fundamental skills.

The international fullback made 90 Munster appearances, scoring 10 tries, and won a Magners League title in 2011. The Sandycove native represented Ireland at all levels, counting the 2007 U20s Grand Slam, the 2009 Churchill Cup and the 2015 6 Nations amongst international achievements. He is currently studying for a Masters in Sport, Exercise and Performance Psychology at the University of Limerick.
