Khair Jones

Khair bin Muhammad Jefri Jones (born 29 September 1989) is a Malaysian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Malaysia Super League club Kuala Lumpur City and the Malaysia national team.

Melaka United
In February 2016, Jones joined the professional Malaysian Premier League club, Melaka United. In his first three matches playing for Melaka United, he was employed in his familiar position on the left. Thereafter, he was played as a centre-back due to his 1.91 metre height which gives him an advantage at winning aerial challenges.

International career
In May 2016, Jones was called up to the Malaysian national team for the matches against Myanmar and Timor-Leste. On 28 May 2016, he earned his first international cap for Malaysia in the friendly match against Myanmar, coming on as a substitute for Fazly Mazlan in the 72nd minute at left back. In just his second appearance for Malaysia, Jones scored his first international goal in the Asian Cup Qualification play-off match against Timor-Leste on 6 June 2016. In that match, he featured in the starting eleven and played as a left winger.
