Alfie Jones

Alfie Jones is an English centre-back who spent the bulk of his career at Hull City in the Championship before joining Middlesbrough in 2025. Solid and unspectacular, he is a dependable presence in the second tier of English football — good in the air, organised defensively, and comfortable in a back four or back five. He has never played top-flight club football, which places a ceiling on his profile, but his consistency at Championship level makes him a reliable squad option. At 28, he is at the peak of his physical powers and brings genuine experience of competitive, physical English football.
