In January 2016, Jones returned again to his country, but now to play for River Plate.
In February 2019, he returned to the Netherlands to play for Eerste Divisie side SC Cambuur. After playing for Uruguayan clubs Danubio and Central Español between 2019 and 2021, Jones again returned to the Netherlands, where he signed for amateur club HHC Hardenberg in the Tweede Divisie.[3]
