Ben Jones (born 7 July 1992, Wrexham)[2] is a Welsh footballer who made several appearances in The Football League with Chester City during his first year as an apprentice at the club.[2] He is currently plays for Flint Town United.

The forward made his debut as a late substitute for Richie Partridge in Chester's 3–1 home loss to Chesterfield on 17 January 2009,[2] before replacing the same player when Chester drew 1–1 at Lincoln City the following week. He became a regular member of Chester's matchday squad in the closing stages of the season, which ended in relegation from Football League Two.

Before joining Chester, Jones was with Preston North End.[3] A former pupil at Connah's Quay High School, Jones was a product of the Flintshire Schoolboys team that has previously produced stars such as Ian Rush and Michael Owen.[3]

On 26 March he joined Colwyn Bay along with fellow former Chester City player Glenn Rule.[4]

In October 2010 he joined Flint Town United[5] and he scored on his debut on 9 October 2010 in the ninth minute in a 5–0 win over Rhayader Town.[6]
