Club career
The beginning in Frankfurt
Jones played as a youth at the clubs SV Bonames and FV Bad Vilbel . There scouts from Eintracht Frankfurt discovered him . In 2000/01 he was in the professional squad of Eintracht Frankfurt and played in the first few years mainly for the amateurs of Eintracht. In the 2001/02 season in the 2nd Bundesliga, he fought for a regular place in the 1st team. In the following season, the midfielder was partially set up in the attack at Eintracht. He scored six goals in the league and another in the DFB Cup . Jones rose to the Bundesliga with Eintracht . There Jones was injured more seriously for the first time and only made five appearances in the storm center.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen
During the winter break of the 2003/04 season , he moved to Bundesliga club Bayer 04 Leverkusen on a free transfer . There he played for the Leverkusen amateurs for the rest of the season and became a top performer. For the 2004/05 season he made the leap into the professional team, but was only used irregularly.
Back to the roots
During the winter break, he returned a year later on loan to the second division club Eintracht Frankfurt . In Hessen he was retrained by the Friedhelm Funkel / Armin Reutershahn coaching team as a defensive middle player and was promoted to the Bundesliga in the 2004/05 season ; Friedhelm Funkel appointed him team captain there .
At the beginning of the 2005/06 season , Jones suffered from a hairline crack in his shin and was operated on. Jones therefore missed the 2006 DFB Cup final . When the symptoms increased following the first operation, he had to undergo another operation, with the metal plates being removed. The regular captain of Eintracht celebrated his comeback at the end of 2006 with his substitution in the DFB Cup game against 1. FC Köln .
FC Schalke 04
For the 2007/08 season Jones moved to FC Schalke 04 , where he signed a contract that was valid until June 2011. Due to his athletic style of play, he quickly established himself as a leading player in Schalke's midfield, so that the club extended his contract on March 31, 2009 to June 30, 2014. Because of the consequences of a hairline crack in his left shin , Jermaine Jones could not play a Bundesliga game for Schalke 04 in the 2009/10 season .

After an unsportsmanlike behavior on December 21, 2011 in the round of 16 game of the DFB Cup at Borussia Mönchengladbach - Jones had deliberately stepped Marco Reus on the already damaged left foot - he was "up for an assault against the opponent in the form of grossly unsportsmanlike behavior" blocked as of March 1, 2012. Thanks in part to strong performances from Jones, the Schalker team qualified for the UEFA Champions League . For the 2012/13 season , Jones formed together with newcomer Roman Neustädter a "double six" in defensive midfield, with Jones playing the more offensive part. After being an undisputed regular player in defensive midfield for a long time, Jones fell into a performance gap like the entire Schalke team in the 2013/2014 season. In the media, Jones was made responsible for the crisis at the time, shortly afterwards he was suspended from coach Jens Keller for a game . In addition, he got strong competition in midfield with the young talent Leon Goretzka , Dennis Aogo and the new transfer Kevin-Prince Boateng .
