Ceryl Tindall-Jones (née Jones; born 21 March 1980)[1] is a former footballer who played for Everton, Liverpool and the Wales.

Youth career

[edit]

Jones-Tindall began her career playing for boys' youth side Segontium Rovers. Aged 14 she joined Bangor City Girls F.C (actually a senior side)[1] playing in the FA Women's Premier League Northern division - the second tier of English women's football.

Club career

[edit]

At Bangor City Girls, aged 15, Jones scored the equalising goal in the 1995 FAW Women's Cup final at the National Stadium in Cardiff,[1] a game they went on to lose on penalties. She also scored the third goal for Bangor when Bangor won the Cup for the first time in 1997, beating Newcastle Emlyn 3 - 0 in Aberystwyth.[2]

In 1998, aged 18, she signed for English champions Everton Ladies. She scored 7 goals in her first season,[3] including the winning goal in the League Cup semi final against Tranmere Rovers.

In 1999, she scored a penalty as Everton beat Arsenal via a penalty shoot-out in the inaugural, unofficial, women's charity shield, played at Wembley immediately before the men's charity shield.

In 2000, she returned to Bangor City, winning back to back Welsh cups,[2] scoring a brace in the 2001 final (a 3-0 win against Newport County) and Bangor's second as they again bested County in the 2002 final and played in the 2002–03 UEFA Women's Cup.[4]

In 2002 she signed for Liverpool, helping them to the 2003–04 FA Women's Premier League Northern Division title.[5] She remained with Liverpool for their season in the top-flight, making 18 starts and scoring once, but left the club after their relegation at the end of the season.[6]

For the 2005-06 season, she returned to Caernarfon Town L.F.C. (which Bangor City Girls had become) where she remained until her retirement in 2011.[1]

International career

[edit]

Jones earned her first cap for Wales aged 16 against Scotland[1][7] on the 24th March 1996, three days after her sixteenth birthday. She scored her first goal for Wales against the Faroe Islands in June 1996[8] and went on to score five goals, including a memorable equaliser to seal a point against Belarus from being 3 - 0 down.

Her final appearances for Wales came during the 2004 Algarve Cup.[9]
