Courtney Jones signing announcement

Exeter City Women have added to their defensive options ahead of the new season with the signing of Courtney Jones.

Jones arrives after a successful spell at Cheltenham Town, where she was a key member in the Robins' Division One South West winning side of 2022, scoring against the Grecians in a 3-1 victory in Gloucestershire. 

As Town adapted to life in tier three, Jones would be a regular starter for Tom Davies’ side, playing on 22 occasions as they finished a respectable eighth in the division. Jones would play 17 times for the Robins last season, including a late substitute appearance as Town and City clashed in the FA Cup.

Jones started her career with Wolverhampton Wanderers before moving to Stoke City for a three-year spell. She joined Cheltenham in 2021 where she was a teammate of fellow Grecian Georgie-Marie Barbour-Gresham. Jones recently captained the UK Armed Forces Team, the defender representing the British Army.
