Ellis Jones (born 4 December 2003) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for EFL League Two club Port Vale.
Playing career[]
Jones made his first-team debut for Port Vale at the age of 17 whilst still a second-year youth scholar, coming on as a half-time substitute for Brad Walker in a 1–0 win over Rochdale in an EFL Trophy group stage game at Vale Park on 5 October 2021.[1][2] Manager Darrell Clarke said that he had done well in the game and that "he earned it [his debut], I don’t give them out for the sake of it. Some clubs do but I don’t agree with that".[3] He was then played in central defence by youth-team coach Billy Paynter "to help him develop with more time on the ball", and was also given the captain's armband in youth-team games.[4]
Style of play[]
Jones is a central midfielder, though can also play at centre-back.[1]
