About Brad Jones (soccer)
Bradley Scott Jones (born 19 March 1982) is an Australian former professional soccer player who played as a goalkeeper. He was a member of the Middlesbrough team for over a decade often playing on loan at a succession of lower league English clubs: Stockport County, Rotherham United, Blackpool and Sheffield Wednesday. He also had a brief loan spell in Ireland with Shelbourne. In 2010, he made a £2.3 million move to Liverpool where he spent four seasons, mostly in a back-up role. Jones then had two short stints, his final in England at Bradford City and then in the Netherlands at NEC, before joining Feyenoord on a one-year deal in August 2016. In May 2017, he signed for another two years at Feyenoord following their title win in the Dutch Eredivisie. He then joined Saudi club Al-Nassr in 2018, going on to play for the latter across three seasons before departing in the summer of 2021 and returning to his hometown and joining Perth Glory, and later retired in 2023. 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. With mentor Mark Schwarzer moving to Fulham, Jones became first choice goalkeeper at Middlesbrough. Jones regained his place in the Middlesbrough first team in January 2009 and remained first choice as Middlesbrough were relegated from the Premier League.
