Alfie Jones, born on 7 October 1997 (age 28), is a Canadian central defender with Middlesbrough, where he wears number 5. At 6ft 3in (1.91m), he is an imposing presence at the back, and his current market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt.
His early senior record includes a productive spell at St Mirren in 2018-2019, when he scored two league goals in 14 appearances. That remains his best scoring return in a league season, though goals have never been the main measure of his work.
The substantial part of his career has been at Hull City. Across four seasons, Jones made 149 league appearances and scored two league goals, becoming a regular part of the side rather than a passing squad name. That Hull spell gives his career its shape more than anything else.
He is now with Middlesbrough and remains involved in the first team. In 2025-2026, he has made 22 Championship appearances and scored once, keeping him firmly in the current picture rather than drifting into the background.
Jones’ career is that of a steady Championship-level centre-half, built mainly on a long and consistent run at Hull City, with Middlesbrough now providing the next established stage.
