Notts County winger Jodi Jones reflects on record-breaking season
Notts County winger Jodi Jones has made history by setting an English-record of 24 assists in a single season, surpassing the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Thierry Henry. The 26-year-old Malta international has been a standout performer for Notts County in their return to the English Football League, earning accolades such as selection in the League Two team of the year and winning the division’s player of the season award.
Jones, who joined Notts County on a permanent deal last summer after a successful loan spell from Oxford United, has overcome a series of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries to establish himself as a key player for the team. His remarkable achievement of 24 assists this season is a testament to his hard work and determination.
In an interview with BBC East Midlands Today, Jones expressed his hunger for one more assist to make it 25, highlighting his relentless drive for success. He admitted that he never expected to reach such a milestone and is grateful for the recognition he has received for his efforts.
Despite his individual success, Jones remains focused on the team’s performance and is disappointed with Notts County’s current position in the league table. With one game remaining in the season, Jones is determined to finish on a high note and help the team improve their standing.
With the support of league leading scorer Macaulay Langstaff, Jones has been instrumental in Notts County’s attacking prowess, contributing to their status as one of the highest scoring teams in League One. However, their defensive struggles have hindered their overall performance, leaving them in 14th place in the table.
As Jones reflects on his remarkable season, he remains grateful for the opportunity to showcase his talent and make a significant impact on Notts County’s campaign. His record-breaking achievement will be remembered as a remarkable feat in English football history.
