Goalkeeper Louis Jones joins the Iron until the end of the season

Scunthorpe United can confirm that former Doncaster Rovers goalkeeper Louis Jones has extended his stay with the club until the end of the 2025-26 season.

Coming through the Rovers ranks from the age of 12, Jones made over 50 appearances in all competitions for his boyhood club, with his debut awarded to him by Scunthorpe manager Andy Butler. With a number of loans helping to further his development over the years, Jones would depart Doncaster in the January of 2025 to join Dagenham & Redbridge on a short-term deal, where he quickly became the starting goalkeeper for the Daggers until a hamstring injury brought his season to an end.

Jones joined the Iron as a trialist in the summer, where he impressed goalkeeper coach Paul Musselwhite with his tremendous shot-stopping ability. With a further injury setback preventing him from carrying on with the Iron, he would return earlier this month to help regain fitness before making his first appearance for the club in the National League Cup fixture against Newcastle United earlier this week, in which he kept a clean sheet and made a couple of impressive stops.

With Maison Campbell still recovering from injury, and back-up non-contract shot stopper Kian Johnson also nursing a knock, Jones provides additional support in the position following the extension of Rory Mahady's loan spell from Leeds United.
