He has been capped 29 times by Northern Ireland and played for 20 clubs in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.Jones was born in Derry, Northern Ireland and moved to Manchester with his family at age 13. In his late teens, he played for Chadderton in the North West Counties Division One[5] before signing for Blackpool in July 1995.[6] After spending time playing for Blackpool's youth and reserve teams, he signed for Bury on a free transfer in July 1996. Unable to settle at Bury and frustrated by the lack of first-team opportunities, Jones decided to move to the Republic of Ireland and sign for League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers in July 1997, stating that Rovers manager Nicky Reid's offer of a full-time contract was what ultimately made up his mind.On 30 August 1997, he made his debut for The Bit o' Red in the league match against Bohemians, scoring just before half-time in the 2–2 draw at The Showgrounds. He spent almost two seasons with Sligo and won the League of Ireland Cup after playing in the final against Shelbourne in February 1998. Overall, he played 46 games and scored 6 goals for Sligo before moving to Bray Wanderers in January 1999. Jones made his debut for Bray on 22 January, playing in the 0–0 league draw with Finn Harps at Carlisle Grounds. Later that year, Jones was homesick and moved back to England, later having a brief spell with Northern Premier League side Chorley where he played in the last four games of the season for The Magpies.

After being postponed last week following the sad passing of recent assistant manager Ollie Horgan, Galway United return to SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division action on Sunday (7th September 2025) when they travel to defending champions Shelbourne. United are currently in eighth place on 30 points, level with Sligo Rovers, with only goal difference separating the Tribesmen from the relegation play-off spot. They are also without a victory in eight league games. But they are unbeaten in their last four games against the Dublin-based team, even if the previous three have finished in draws. United's last competitive win away to Shelbourne was in October 2014 when goals from Ryan Connolly and Jake Keegan gave them a 2-1 victory in a promotion play-off. Former St. Patrick's Athletic and Dundalk manager Jon Daly became Galway United's new assistant manager last mont,h and he looked forward to the game with Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly. == Kick-off at Tolka Park on Sunday is 5pm, and we'll have full coverage on our website galwaybayfm.ie.

The lads take stock as Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers are both tantalisingly close to group stage football after a quite incredible night on Thursday. Dan relays his trip to the Azores, where some locals were more interested in the staff in the chip van than whether the Rovers performance was different gravy to other LOI wins in Europe. The lads discuss that point but there is no debate around the emotional moment of the week. We're recording from JW's apartment for sale, but his last cup of tea in the old place is about as satisfying as the pitch in Drogheda, while he's alarmed at Galway's squad disintegrating in the off-season. Dan discusses the joys of a global transfer story, with the size of Victor Ozhianvuna's fee just one of the discussions arising from a crowded mailbag which includes something even more precious than the sweet taste of a jaffa cake - an actual quote from a referee! All of this and more is brought to you with our friends at Collar & Cuff, Sport Cosanta, Future Ticketing & Rascals Brewing

Galway United are now eight games without a win in the SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division, and just one point ahead of the relegation play-off position following this defeat to Derry City in Eamonn Deacy Park on Friday (22nd August 2025). Jimmy Keohane got United's first league goal in three games to put them ahead on 17 minutes, but they found themselves level at half-time following Dip Akenyemi's equaliser just before the break. And even though the visitors went down to 10 men following Jamie Stott's second yellow card, Adam O'Reilly struck the winner for the Candystripes on 93 minutes. Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Mike Rafferty and Gareth Gorman. == Galway United's next game is away to Shelbourne on Sunday, 31st August 2025. Kick-off at Tolka Park is 5pm.

Stuey Byrne, former Shelbourne Rovers player, discusses Shelbourne's Europa League qualifier against Croatian team, Rijeka.
We're officially back for the 2025-26 Europa & Conference League campaigns, and as always, we're kicking things off with the 3rd qualifying rounds. The 1st legs were full of action, and we discuss some major upsets from old friends (Celje, Víkingur Reykjavík, AEK Larnaca), and new (Hibs, Shelbourne). Then we explore Cyrpus' remarkable European successes of late, why the Irish league is on the rise, if this is a breakout season for Scottish clubs, and speculate whether Malta is the next country to pop their cherry and qualify a team for European group stages for the very first time. We're also introduced to some clubs previously unfamiliar to us, including FC Polissya Zhytomyr, whose name we hopefully did not butchered to unreasonable degree.
