Alfie Jones, born on 7 October 1997 (age 28), is a Canadian central defender with Middlesbrough. A commanding 6ft 3in (1.91m), he wears the number 5 shirt and is valued at around £5m by Transfermarkt.
His early senior development included a useful spell at St Mirren in 2018-2019, where he made 14 league appearances and scored twice. For a centre-half still finding his way, that was a productive year rather than just a line on the CV.
The main body of his career, though, came at Hull City. Across four seasons he made 149 league appearances and scored two league goals, becoming a regular first-team defender rather than a passing squad name. That spell gives the career its shape: steady Championship football, plenty of minutes, and enough reliability to remain in demand.
Jones is now at Middlesbrough, where in 2026-2027 he has made three appearances in all competitions and scored once. That includes two Championship appearances with one goal, plus one League Cup outing.
His career to date is straightforward enough: early grounding at St Mirren, a long and substantial run at Hull City, and a current role at Middlesbrough as an experienced central defender.
