Kelsey Jones started playing rugby in 2014 with Seven Sisters in the Neath Valleys, where she was the first captain of their youth team. As a member of the senior side, she has been part of a plate-winning team which has reached the league finals on several occasions.

She was a WRU rugby development apprentice for 12 months before being capped by Wales in 2017. Kelsey won her first cap for Wales as a replacement against the Black Ferns in the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup.

After graduating from the WRU apprenticeship, Kelsey worked as a disability rugby officer for Cardiff Blues Community Foundation before carrying out a similar role for Gloucester Rugby.

Having missed the autumn series due to injury, she worked her way back into contention and gained a full-time contract from July 1, 2022.
