Pat Jones joined Exeter City in August 2024 from Huddersfield Town where he had played just short of twenty first-team games and had represented Wales at under-21 level.  

Born in Stockport, but growing up in North Wales, Pat played youth football for Ruthin Town and Bala Town before joining Wrexham’s academy during his final years at school. Becoming a scholar/trainee with Huddersfield Town at the age of sixteen, he became a professional the following year prior to making his first-team debut in the FA Cup against Plymouth Argyle in January 2021. Quickly representing Wales at under-17 level, he added two more first-team appearances for the Terriers during the remainder of the 2020/21 season before making his debut for the Welsh under-21 team in June 2022.

After scoring his first goal for Huddersfield in a league game against Norwich City in August 2022, Pat was to make half-a-dozen first-team appearances in 2022/23 followed by another eight during the next campaign as his club was relegated from the Championship. Approaching five years with the West Yorkshire club - and now aged twenty-one - he made a late substitute appearance in the League Cup against Walsall in August 2024 before joining Exeter City three days later just hours before the transfer deadline.  

Suffering from a hamstring injury, Pat was out of action during the early stages of his Exeter City career and did not make an appearance in any competition until playing for the under-21s against Bromley in the Premier League Cup shortly before Christmas. With the Grecians trailling to Crawley Town on 28 December 2024, he made his first-team debut as a late substiture as he helped City salvage a 4-4 draw and subsequently went on to make a series of lively appearances from the bench over the following few months. Having started six league games, Pat made an eleventh substitute appearance against Stockport County in April 2025 when he suffered further injury misfortune after just nine minutes.
