Lexington Sporting Club announced the official signing of Courtney Jones to the inaugural USL Super League roster pending league and federation approval on Friday, June 28th.
Jones, a former standout with the Clemson Tigers at the NCAA Division-I level, serves primarily as a winger but has experience at outside back and forward as well.
She also attended multiple United States Women’s National team training camps, including with the U14, U15, and U18 teams. She is also a four-time All Olympic Development Program Region II Team member with two Costa Rica appearances, winning MVP in year one.
While attending North Central High School, Jones set the all-time school goal record and played in the high school All-American game while also working with Ohio Elite Soccer Academy before committing to Clemson.
Suiting up for the Tigers as a freshman, Jones started all three games she played before ending her season early due to injury, recording two assists during that time.
A redshirt freshman in 2018, Jones started in 17 of her 21 games and finished with two goals and three assists before adding three more assists in 2019 with 17 more starts.
As a junior in 2020, Jones made All-ACC Third Team honors for the first time before returning in 2021 and propelling the team to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, adding two assists during the shortened Covid-19 spring season.
In her final year in college in 2021, Jones was limited due to injury but managed to play late in the season before finishing her collegiate career.
Once done with college, Jones played for Greenville Liberty in the USL W League, opening the club’s inaugural season and starting in all seven matches, helping the team to qualify for the national playoffs.
