Early career

Hayley Jones is the daughter of Phil and Louise Jones, the sprint gold medalist for Wales at the 1990 Commonwealth Games.

Jones was part of British Cycling's Olympic Development Programme for 2012/2013.[3]

She was a member of the bronze medal-winning British team pursuit squad at the Junior world championships in 2012. That year, she was living with her family in Brisbane, Australia,[4] Jones teamed up with Taylah Jennings and Alexandra O'Dea, to win gold in the junior team pursuit at the Australian National Track Championships.

On 8 August 2013, at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, Jones competed at the UCI Juniors Track World Championships. She was part of Britain's Team Pursuit squad which also included Amy Hill, Emily Kay and Emily Nelson. In the qualifying heat, they broke the world record which had only been set a few weeks previously at the European Track Championships, setting a new time of 4:38.708. In the final, they broke the record once more, with a time of 4:35.085, beating Russia to become world champions.[5] She then went on to win Bronze in the 20-kilometre (12-mile) Points Race.
