Lee Jones (born 28 June 1988) is a Scottish rugby union player. He plays primarily at wing, but is equally at home at scrum-half.
Background
Educated at Selkirk High School,[1][2] good performances for both his club, Selkirk RFC, and the Scotland Sevens[2] team earned him a contract at Edinburgh for the 2010–11 season. He now plays for Glasgow Warriors in the Heineken Pro 12 league.
He was called into the Scotland Squad for the 2012 Six Nations Championship and started on the wing against England on 4 February,[3] scoring his first try for Scotland against France, and becoming injured after a head clash with Andrew Trimble in the Scotland vs Ireland game,[4] causing him to miss the game against Italy.[4]
He is in a relationship with Scottish racing cyclist Charline Joiner.[5]
Edinburgh Rugby
He joined Edinburgh Rugby in 2010 after some standout performances for his hometown club Selkirk RFC. He caught the attention of then coach Michael Bradley, who saw Lee Jones as a player that could bring pace, and lots of tries to the Edinburgh team.
Glasgow Warriors
After joining Glasgow Warriors in February 2013, Jones made his debut in an 8-6 win over Connacht at Scotstoun. He then signed a two-year deal with the club in November 2014.
International career
His pace, and strength in the contact and an unquestionable eye for the try line resulted in a call up into the Scotland Squad for the 2012 Six Nations Championship and started on the wing against England on 4 February,[3] scoring his first try for Scotland against France, and becoming injured after a head clash with Andrew Trimble in the Scotland vs Ireland game,[4] causing him to miss the game against Italy.To date he has won four caps for Scotland.
In the summer Jones featured for Scotland 7s in the Commonwealth Games, scoring 14 tries, before extending his deal with the Warriors on a dual contract with Scotland 7s.
