He made his first-team debut, aged 16, against Arsenal U21s in an EFL Trophy match in October 2019, signing his first professional contract on his 17th birthday. Manager Darren Ferguson stated that Jones "must be the quickest player I've ever managed and I've managed some quick ones. He's a talent, there's no doubt about that." In his second appearance and first start he scored his first goal for the club in an EFL Trophy tie against Cambridge United on 12 November 2019.
