Abe Jones Jr.
Abraham Jones, more commonly known as Abe Jones, was an English football forward born in April 1899 in West Bromwich, Staffordshire. He was the son of another footballer named Abraham Jones who played for West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough. Abe started his career with local club West Bromwich Sandwell before turning professional with Birmingham in 1919.
Jones made his Football League debut for Birmingham on 6 April 1920, coming on as a substitute for Harry Hampton and scoring both goals in a 2–0 win over Fulham. He played a few more games that season, but Hampton remained the first choice, so Jones moved to Reading in August 1921.
After Reading, he went on to play for Brighton & Hove Albion (1922–1923) and Merthyr Town (1923–1924). He was also on the books at Stoke, though he did not make a league appearance for them.
League totals:
- Birmingham: 3 games, 2 goals
- Reading: 24 games, 5 goals
- Brighton & Hove Albion: 6 games, 1 goal
- Merthyr Town: 19 games, 6 goals
Abe Jones died sometime after 1923; the exact date is unknown.
