Bromley landed a wild move, snagging experienced winger Jodi Jones from Notts County for an undisclosed fee. This isn’t your average transfer; the League One new boys are making serious moves in their busy summer rebuild.
Jones’s Journey to League One
Jones, at 28, is London-born and has quite the resume already. He started out in the youth systems at Arsenal then West Ham, showing that pedigree early on. He made his senior league debut with Dagenham & Redbridge before spending six solid years with Coventry City. Talk about a winner, too: he helped Coventry lift the EFL Trophy and then snag promotion to League One in back-to-back seasons back in 2018. That’s a guy who knows how to get it done when the pressure is on, right?
From Rival to Raven
What makes this move even crazier? Jones was a part of the Notts County squad that went up to League Two last season via the play-offs. Get this: Notts County actually finished behind Bromley that season! Jones and Notts beat Salford City in the League Two play-off final to seal their promotion. So, he’s a player coming from a team that was literally competing directly with Bromley for advancement. He signed with Notts in 2023, initially on loan, and clearly made an impact there, being a key part of their climb.
The Kicker: He Owns Them
But here’s the detail that makes this signing truly wild for the Ravens. This dude has been an absolute menace against Bromley himself! Jones has scored four times in his past four games facing the Ravens. Three of those goals came last season, during the 2024-25 campaign. He even found the net in that 1-1 draw at Bromley last season. Think about that: they brought in a guy who consistently carved them up. That’s either a genius move to neutralize a threat and turn him into an asset, or a risky bet. Either way, it’s a statement signing.
Bromley’s summer rebuild is clearly in full swing, and bringing in a player with Jones’s experience and, frankly, his track record of scoring against them, is a bold move. Fans will be eager to see if he can turn that scoring prowess from opponent to asset and help propel the new League One side even further. Get ready to see if this signing pays off big.
