Tom Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The Manchester-born centre-half arrived from Stockport in the summer of 2009 as a 15-year-old and became a regular in the Under-17s team. Injuries held him back at the start of the 2010/11 campaign and he was unlucky to miss the Youth Cup final win after suffering concussion in training. Jones was included in Neil Lennon's squad for the friendly against Athletic Bilbao and came on as a substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we don't take players on to just fill a slot in the u21 squad (not saying that you necessarily said this), he'll have potential that Willie McStay is probably very aware of.

miketh2nd Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 http://www.thisisbri...tail/story.html -McStay ex Celtic -Newly created under 21 reserve league -We are short on development squad players Great news we have made it to category 2 and from that artictle sounds if reserve team will get a lot better quality games to have a better chance to see if youngsters can make the step up to the squad. Also good that the games held at Ashton Gate will be free for season ticket holders just typical that this is the same night as my 5 a side team!

Never played for the Celtic first team, was signed as part of a deal where a few youth players went from Stockport to Celtic. Was released from Celtic as he was constantly injured ! In no way can he be compared to Caulker, Caulker had just been player of the year after playing a full season at Yeovil and was still to be retained by Tottenham.
