Jones made her county debut in 2012, for Surrey against Sussex.[5] She hit her maiden county half-century a season later, scoring 50 against Hertfordshire.[6] She was Surrey's second-highest wicket-taker in the 2016 Women's County Championship, with 13 wickets including two four-wicket hauls.[7][8] She became captain of Surrey during the 2018 season, and captained them to their first London Cup victory over Middlesex in 2020.[9][10] She played six matches for the side in the 2021 Women's Twenty20 Cup, taking six wickets at an average of 17.33.[11]

Jones also played for Surrey Stars in the Women's Cricket Super League between 2017 and 2019. She played eight matches across the three seasons, including the semi-final in 2017. She only bowled in one match, however, taking 2/24 from two overs against Lancashire Thunder in 2019.[2][12][13]
