Bradley "Brad" Jones (born 19 March 1982) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Feyenoord. He was a member of the Middlesbrough team for over a decade often playing on loan at a succession of lower league clubs: , Rotherham United, Blackpool and Sheffield Wednesday. He also had a brief loan spell in Ireland with Shelbourne. In August 2010, he made a £2.3m move to Liverpool where he spent four seasons, mostly in a back-up role. In August 2015, he moved to Bradford City on a one-year deal. In January 2016, he signed a six-month deal with Dutch side NEC who play in the Eredivisie.

Jones was born in Armadale, Western Australia to English parents. A childhood Liverpool fan, he attended John Curtin Senior High School, graduating in 1998. Jones signed for Bayswater City SC in Western Australia.

He was then signed by Middlesbrough, playing in their youth system, and signed a professional contract on 26 March 1999. He made his first team debut in the FA Cup third round against Notts County in 2004 and later that season won a League Cup winners medal.

He had loan spells at several clubs; in the 2001–02 season he played four games for Irish club side Shelbourne F.C.. He made his professional and League of Ireland debut on 5 October against local rivals Bohemians at Dalymount Park and conceded 4 goals in a 6–4 victory one of which was direct from his own goal kick. His second appearance for the club came one week later in a 3–1 home victory against Monaghan United. Later he had loan spells at Stockport County and Blackpool. In the 2005–06 season, playing for Middlesbrough, Jones saved a Ruud van Nistelrooy penalty which left the match against Manchester United level at 0–0.
