Steve Francis Jones (born 18 October 1960) is an English former footballer who played as a midfielder. He started his professional career with Manchester United before moving to Port Vale.
Jones was signed by Manchester United, but did not make a senior first team appearance for the "Red Devils" before joining Port Vale in July 1979. He played sixteen games in 1979–80, scoring his first senior goal in a final day 3–0 win over Doncaster Rovers at Vale Park, as the "Valiants" finished 20th in the Fourth Division. He opened the 1980–81 season with a goal, in another 3–0 home win over Doncaster Rovers, but went on to suffer a broken collarbone and finished the season with fourteen appearances to his name. He left Vale by mutual consent in June 1981, having played 30 games in league and cup competitions.
