Jermaine Junior Jones (born 3 November 1981) is an American soccer player for LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer. He has played as a defensive midfielder for most of his career.
Born in Germany to an American father and German mother, he came up through the German club system and represented Germany at the U21 and senior level. However, he was not a regular in the team. He later filed for a switch to the United States. He made his debut for them in 2010 and played at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, scoring a notable goal against Portugal.
Jones grew up in Frankfurt-Bonames. His father is a U.S. Army soldier who was stationed in West Germany. As a child, Jones lived in Chicago, Illinois and Greenwood, Mississippi, before his parents divorced and he returned to Germany with his mother.
Jones started his youth career at SV Bonames, moving to FV Bad Vilbel in 1994, when he was thirteen.
In 1995, he was recruited by Eintracht Frankfurt to play in their academy. He spent the next five years learning and building the quality of his game, and made his first appearance in the Eintracht Frankfurt II team in the 2000–01 season making 25 appearances and scoring eight goals. He made the step up to the main squad in 2001. Jones made 46 appearances for the Frankfurt senior team over two years in the 2001–2003 seasons, scoring seven goals as he was primarily played as a central defensive midfielder.
