Ben Jones (born 7 July 1992, Wrexham)[2] is a Welsh footballer with who made several appearances in The Football League with Chester City during his first year as an apprentice at the club.[2] He is currently plays for Flint Town United.

The forward made his debut as a late substitute for Richie Partridge in Chester's 3–1 home loss to Chesterfield on 17 January 2009,[2] before replacing the same player when Chester drew 1–1 at Lincoln City the following week.

On 26 March he joined Colwyn Bay along with fellow former Chester City player Glenn Rule.[4]
