Ash Jones is a 20-year-old prodigy from Maroubra in Sydney, Australia. Born in Byron Bay to an Australian mother and an English father, he was playing football and surfing from a young age. They say he could do both before he could even walk. His instinct around the goal is frightening. He tends to be in the right place at the right time and his composure when he gets a chance is ice-cold. They are high hopes for Jones in footballing circles in Australia and whether he can handle the pressure will be interesting to see. Despite his extroverted nature, he gets anxious about public speaking. He likes to read and is interested in the environment which comes from his love of the ocean. "The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis" by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac is one of his favourites on the topic. He has massive respect for Greta Thunberg and often shares her content.
