BIOGRAPHY
Joevin Martin Jones was born on August 3, 1991 in Carenage, Trinidad and Tobago. He is a left-back in Major League Soccer.
Jones' professional career began with W Connection in his native Trinidad and Tobago, where he made his first-team debut in 2009, at the age of 17. During his time with the Savonetta Boys, Jones won the TT Pro League title twice and the FA Trophy in 2013–14. After his fourth season with W Connection, in 2014, he was loaned to Finnish club HJK Helsinki. Jones then moved to Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire for the 2015 season before spending the 2016 and 2017 seasons with Seattle Sounders FC. He joined German 2. Bundesliga club Darmstadt on January 1, 2018. He later returned to Seattle Sounders FC on May 7, 2019.
In international football, Jones made his Trinidad and Tobago debut in September 2010, at the age of 19. With the Soca Warriors he has participated in three major tournaments with appearances in the CONCACAF Gold Cup (2013, 2015 and 2019). He scored his first international goal in the 2015 Gold Cup and helped Trinidad and Tobago advance to the quarter-finals.
On 14 January 2016, Jones was traded from Chicago Fire to Seattle Sounders FC in exchange for the 15th overall draft pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft and general allocation money. Since Jones' preferred number 3 shirt was worn by United States international full-back Brad Evans, Joevin opted in favor to wear number 33 instead. One month later, Jones made his debut for the Sounders in a 2–2 draw against Club América during the quarterfinals first leg of the 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League. However, after a streak of matches playing as a left wing-back, Jones made a substitute appearance as a winger and scored his first goal for the Sounders in a win against D.C. United on 1 June. Two weeks later, he scored his second goals for the club with a stoppage-time goal in a win over Kitsap Pumas during the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.
Jones returned to the Sounders in 2019, stating that he felt more comfortable with the team.
On 11 March 2021, Jones joined Inter Miami.
