An all-rounder, she is a right-arm medium bowler and right-handed batter.[1][2] Jones has links to Hong Kong, but turned down the chance to play for their national side, instead hoping to play for England.[3]

Following a rise through the age-group county setups at Hertfordshire and Essex, Jones played her first match for the senior Essex team against the United States in 2019.[4] She appeared in four matches in Essex's Women's London Championship campaign in 2020.[5] She played every match for Essex in the 2021 Women's Twenty20 Cup, scoring 36 runs and taking 3 wickets.[6][7]
