Thomas Luciano Jones Mariani (born 25 September 1997) is a Chilean footballer who plays as a midfielder for Magallanes.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Santiago, Jones began his career in the academy of Universidad de Chile, where he stayed until an injury at under-13 level lead coaches to not register him for the next year.[2] He returned to playing football in his local neighbourhood, before joining the academy of Barnechea at under-15 level.[2]

Having made two appearances in the Copa Chile with Barnechea, Jones left early in the 2015–16 season, joining Segunda División side Santa Cruz, initially on loan.[3]

After three seasons with Santa Cruz, Jones returned to the Primera B with Magallanes. Having suffered a wrist injury at the beginning of 2022, he missed two-and-a-half months, before returning to the side to help them win the Copa Chile, as well as promotion to the Chilean Primera División.[4][5]
