Jones’s qualities were also praised by FC St. Pauli’s head coach, Alexander Blessin, who highlighted his speed and agility as key assets. "His explosiveness and speed are obviously his most notable qualities, and he’s often only brought down by fouls," Blessin said. "However, he also understands how to use his pace correctly and is not only dangerous in attack, but also extremely team-oriented in pressing and when switching to defence."
The young striker himself was equally enthusiastic about the move, stating: "I felt like it was time for a new challenge, and I’m glad to have this opportunity at FC St. Pauli. I’m looking forward to a very international team, enthusiastic fans and big opponents in one of the strongest leagues in the world, and I want to contribute my abilities to a successful season."
