Joshua Jones (born 12 May 1993) is an English professional rugby league player currently playing for the Salford Red Devils in Super League. He previously played for St Helens, with whom he won the 2014 Super League championship.

Jones signed for St Helens as a 16-year-old in 2009 from Blackbrook Royals, after previously playing for Chorley Panthers and Leyland Warriors. He has international honours from his youth rugby days; playing for England under 16s against France Schoolboys in 2009.[2] In June 2012, Joshua signed a 3-year contract with St Helens.[3]

St Helens reached the 2014 Super League Grand Final and Jones was selected to play at centre in their 14-6 victory over Wigan Warriors.[4]

On 17 June 2015 it was announced that Jones would be switching to rugby union to play for Aviva Premiership club Exeter Chiefs for the 2015-16 season.[5] However Jones' spell in rugby union did not last long, citing personal reasons, where he switched back to rugby league for the start of the 2016 Super League season, signing for Salford Red Devils.[6]
