Samuel Frederick Jones (born 15 December 1991) is an English former rugby union player.
Jones studied at Aylesbury Grammar School and King's College London.
He played rugby for England U-16, U-18 and U-20, and Wasps RFC in the Aviva Premiership. In 2013 he was called up to the Barbarian's team to play England and the British & Irish Lions.[1][2]
On 30 September 2016 Jones was called up to the senior England squad by coach Eddie Jones for the Autumn Internationals.[3] However while training with England he suffered multiple leg injuries in a judo session, which ruled him out of the Tests and led to his retirement in March 2018.[4]
