Demons Welcome Clinton Jones

The Perth Football Club is proud to announce the signing of former St. Kilda midfielder Clint Jones.

The 149 game AFL player was a consistent performer during one of the most successful periods in Saints history. Jones played in three grand finals for St. Kilda and kicked 40 goals during a seven year stint with the Saints. He made his name under the coaching of Ross Lyon and developed into one of the best run-with players in the AFL. He won the club's Robert Harvey most professional player award in 2009 – an award to the player with the highest standards of fitness and mental aptitude.

Jones was originally drafted in 2007 as a mature age rookie draft pick from South Fremantle. At the Bulldogs he was a dual best and fairest and a member of the 2005 premiership side. It was during this time that current Perth CEO Marty Atkins developed a close bond with Jones as the club’s Football Manager. Last season Jones was Best and Fairest for VFL club Sandringham before deciding to return home with his wife Jessica.

Demons Football Operations Manager Tyson Beattie says it is a significant signing for the club. “Clint Jones has a remarkable football resume. His ability to play and train at such a high standard for so long is a testament to his dedication to the game. We can’t wait to have Clint make his mark on the club as he has done at every other team he has been with.” Jones joins an already talented midfield alongside Liam McKenna, captain Dene White and Sandover Medallist Aidan Tropiano. Jones is another significant signing for the Demons after former Richmond ruckman Angus Graham joined the club in November.
