Daniel Jeffrey Jones (born 23 December 1986) is an English footballer who plays for EFL League One side Chesterfield. He is able to play as a left-back or on the left side of midfield.
He began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, turning professional in January 2005 after a long association as a youth team prospect. He was loaned out to Northampton Town, Oldham Athletic, Notts County and Bristol Rovers, but never won a regular first team place at Wolves. He made a permanent move to Sheffield Wednesday in June 2010, and was a squad member as the "Owls" were promoted out of League One in 2011–12. He joined Port Vale in January 2013, and helped the club to secure promotion out of League Two in 2012–13. He left the club in April 2014 after a training ground bust-up, and signed with Chesterfield the following month.
Born in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, Jones joined the Wolverhampton Wanderers academy at the age of ten, and moved up through the ranks to sign his first professional contract at Molineux under Glenn Hoddle in January 2005. He made his first team debut on 1 April 2006, in a 2–0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle at Home Park; he was replaced by Rob Edwards on 62 minutes. He played eight Championship games in the 2006–07 season, though only played one of these games from December onwards.
