Mark Jones Bio

Once a formidable winger for Scarlets and Wales, Mark Jones is now a distinguished coach.

Born 7 November 1979, Mark Jones began playing rugby at a young age and represented Builth Wells during his junior career. After progressing to play for the senior side in 1995, he was signed by Llandovery after a string of impressive performances. In his first season of senior rugby with Llandovery, he was the highest scorer in the Welsh League. As a result of his success for Llandovery, Mark Jones then signed for Llanelli.

When the Welsh Rugby Union restructured the rugby system in the country in 2003, Mark Jones signed for the Scarlets. During this period of his career, he also became firmly established as a Welsh international. After representing Wales at U18, U19 and U20 level, he made almost 50 appearances for the full international side. The highlight of this international career was undoubtedly in 2008, when he helped Wales achieve the Six Nations Grand Slam.
