Injury has plagued Jone's season in 2007/08 and he has struggled to make it into the first team making just two starts.

Towards the end of the campaign, Jones was let out on loan to his former club Crewe Alexandra until the end of the season. After his loan move Jones will be hoping to rekindle the kind of form he had in his impressive first season at Turf Moor in which the wide man scored five goals.

He joined the Clarets on a three-year deal in summer 2006 after turning down the offer of an extended contract at Gresty Road.

Jones moved to Crewe in the summer of 2001 from Leigh RMI and went on to score 45 goals in 173 appearances for Dario Gradi's side.

Prior to that Jones had been on the books of Blackpool and Irish League side Sligo Rovers, but he really made his breakthrough at Leigh where he scored 43 goals in just over 100 games.

Jones, who possesses lightening speed and can operate either in a wide position or as an out-and-out striker, has also established himself as a regular on the international scene .

He scored his first goal for Northern Ireland against Trinidad & Tobago in 2004 and has since amassed 24 caps for his country.

Jones, who linked up with fellow Northern Ireland Internationals Kyle Lafferty and Michael Duff at Turf Moor, made an immediate impact with two goals on his Clarets' league debut against QPR.
