About Kenwyne Jones
Kenwyne Joel Jones CM (born 5 October 1984) is a Trinidadian professional football manager and former player who played as a forward. He was most recently manager of the Trinidad and Tobago women's national team. He began his football career with Joe Public in his native Trinidad and Tobago. He moved to W Connection in 2002. In 2004, he joined Southampton, where he was converted to a striker. He was later loaned to Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City during the 2004–05 season. In 2007, he joined Sunderland for £6 million where he spent three seasons before he signed for Stoke City in August 2010. In his first season at Stoke, Jones scored 12 goals and played in the 2011 FA Cup final. Following the arrival of Peter Crouch in August 2011, Jones struggled to hold down a regular place in the side, and scored just four more league goals in the next three seasons. In January 2014 he joined Cardiff City in a player-exchange with Peter Odemwingie. While with Cardiff he spent time out on loan at AFC Bournemouth and Al Jazira before moving to Atlanta United in the summer of 2016. Jones retired from football in November 2017. Jones has been capped at under-18, under-20, under-23 olympic team and the Trinidad and Tobago national team. Jones made his debut for Sunderland on 1 September in a 1–0 defeat to Manchester United and scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 home win over Reading on 15 September. Chelsea captain John Terry praised Jones, saying he was probably the "best in the air in the Premier League" after Chelsea had won the match 1–0 on 15 March 2008.
