In his Welsh top-level career, he made more than 200 appearances and scored almost 2,000 points. In 2004, he joined ], formerly known as Montferrand.

| In ] Jones was selected for the ]. Although Jones was the on-form ], the Head Coach, ] selected the barely match fit ] ahead of him. Many people in the Rugby world saw this as the wrong decision and many believed that ] should not even tour, let alone play, as at the time he had only recently recovered from a serious injury. | |||
| In October of 2006 head coach ] named Jones as captain to lead Wales through to the 2007 World Cup. On his appointment of Jones, Jenkins said "Stephen has all the attributes to make a magnificent captain of his country.

| During the ], Jones looked extremely lackadaisical, and was frequently caught out by his poor decision-making as captain. This, coupled with the fact that he has not yet won a Test match as captain of Wales, led to members of the Welsh camp giving him the moniker of "Captain Crap". | |||
| While regarded as one of the best players in the world of his position, Jones has been criticised for his erratic kicking and relatively short kicking range. | |||
