Bromley have agreed to sign wing-back Jodi Jones from Notts County, Football Lowdown reported this week. The 28-year-old Maltese international is set to join the League One side after three years with the Magpies, where he helped secure two promotions.
Bromley currently sit 18th in League One with four points from four games, having scored four goals and conceded thirteen. Their recent form reads LLDW, and they are six points behind early leaders Huddersfield Town.
Jodi Jones is a versatile wing-back who originally joined Notts County on loan from Oxford United before making the move permanent. His final appearance for County was the League Two playoff final at Wembley, where he scored one goal and provided an assist. Jones has not featured in manager Martin Paterson's squad this season, fueling speculation about his future over the past month. Football Insider reporter Pete O'Rourke stated that Notts County agreed to sell Jones to Bromley.
His arrival at Hayes Lane is expected to improve both defensive solidity and attacking width for Andy Woodman's side. Jones brings promotion-winning experience and a proven track record in the Football League.
Manager Andy Woodman has been actively seeking to bolster his squad after a heavy defeat to Sheffield Wednesday last weekend. The club had also been targeting a new forward, having seen a loan move for Manchester United's Victor Musa rejected. Jones provides a specific solution on the flank. Bromley have already recruited Mickel Miller as an alternative wing-back option, indicating a clear tactical shift or a desire for increased depth in that position.
The addition of Jones offers Woodman greater flexibility in his defensive and midfield setups as Bromley look to climb the standings.
Rumours of Jones's departure from Meadow Lane grew throughout August. Mid-August reports indicated Bromley and Notts County were in advanced talks. The deal progressed as Notts County lined up a replacement, with Salford City's Rosaire Longelo set to undergo a medical with the Magpies. This chain of events allowed Bromley to finalise their move for the experienced defender.
Jones left Notts County after three years having achieved two promotions during his time there. His move to Bromley represents a fresh challenge for the player and a key piece of business for the recruiting club. The potential impact of his signing is projected to be felt over the coming months as Bromley aim to establish themselves as mid-table competitors in League One.
Bromley's next match is a home fixture against 16th-placed AFC Wimbledon on Monday, September 7th, 2026.
