Ahead of his participation in March, Jones told the Mirror that like many footballers, he has long been a keen golfer, and has spent more time on the fairway in his retirement. 'I've always been a passionate golfer,' Jones revealed, having hung up his boots for good in March 2024 after numerous injury concerns.

'It's always something that I've loved to do in my spare time when you're playing football, but obviously, you don't get enough time to play golf when you're playing. So, obviously, now I've retired, it's given me a chance to play a little bit more. I love the game.
