it was announced today that he has signed with Hungarian champions Ferencvárosi. will immediately be put with the reserves. they in the same UCL group as barca & juve. Another American at a #UCL-club: Hungarian champions and #UCL group stage-participant just signed former #ATLUTD- and Schalke-prospect and US U20 NT-player Zyen Jones. He was immediately sent to the club’s reserve team - Jones was out of contract since the end of 2019. pic.twitter.com/Ah2OGUd4Xv— Tamás Kun #Jenkifoci (@jenkifoci) October 13, 2020 club press release: https://www.fradi.hu/labdarugas/nb-iii/hirek/amerikai-utanpotlas-valogatott-szelsot-szerzodtettunk
He was below the level at Charlotte Independence, I don’t see how he’ll make it at Ferencvaros. I am very interested in the story of how he ended up there. Have there been any other Yanks there?
Man..... the Budapest Derby.... Ferencvaros vs Ujpest is batshit crazy. Pure hatred. I hope Jones gets to experience that match.
If he flames out of Schalke and the Charlotte Independence, only to make it in Hungary, that will be one of the weirder career trajectories in recent memory. Good luck to him.
Flaming out at Schalke seems to have worked pretty well for Haji Wright... plus, 20 years old is YOUNG...would actually be much rarer for him to have established himself in EU by age 20 than not. Not everyone can be Matthew Hoppe.....
Ooh, he’s on the same team as Henry Wingo. Have they ever played against each other in the US? I don’t even know if they’re similar ages or from the same part of the USA.

must be said finding your ways to some of these recently successful development clubs after struggling at larger dodgier ones is a real silver lining too for some of these baby nats
