Thomas Luciano Jones Mariani (born 25 September 1997) is a Chilean footballer who plays as a midfielder for Kazakhstan Premier League club Kaisar.
Club career
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 Deportes 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]
In 2025, Jones played for Deportes Copiapó.[6]
After Deportes Copiapó, Jones moved abroad and signed with Kazakhstan Premier League club Kaisar.[7][8]
