Philip Howard Jones (born 12 September 1961) is an English former footballer who played either in midfield or defence.

Born in Mansfield, Jones was a product of Sheffield United's youth system and was playing in the reserves as a fifteen-year-old in 1977.[1] Signing as an apprentice in July 1978, Jones turned professional a year later and finally made his debut for United in February 1979 in a league fixture against Wrexham.[1] Jones struggled to make the transition to the first team, his only real run in the side came during 1980–81 season as United were relegated to Division Four.[1] After failing to make a first team appearance during the subsequent season, Jones was released from his contract in May 1982, joining Boston United.[1] After leaving Boston, Jones joined Matlock Town for a spell before finishing his career with Gainsborough Trinity in 1990.[1]
