This is my last chance to win something with Province, says Jones
WESTERN PROVINCE centre Huw Jones says he will do his best to lift the Currie Cup trophy with WP before he heads to Europe.
The Scotland international earlier this year signed a twoyear deal with Glasgow Warriors, who he will join after the Currie Cup.
The 23-year-old put himself on the radar of the Scotland selectors with impressive performances for the Stormers over the past couple of years, and was rewarded with a call-up to the national side last season.
“It’s great to be back in Cape Town, I’m just enjoying it,” Jones said.
“I think there’s still a lot of room for improvement in my personal game and I’m working hard for that.
“This is my last chance to win something with Province. So I’m obviously going to give it my all.”
A hamstring injury he sustained against Italy, meant Jones didn’t get to light up the Super Rugby stage as he would have liked. But the midfielder with a solid passing game and deceptive pace is now solely focused on the Currie Cup.
“I set myself the goal of playing Super Rugby, but things didn’t go my way. But I’m glad I have the opportunity to finish off with a few Currie Cup games and hopefully win it,” he said.
And when asked how his international stints have influenced his productions in local rugby, Jones said: “It’s given me a lot of confidence and it made my game a little sharper in all aspects.
“I think to survive in Test rugby you have to be able to improve and to bring that back here.”
Regarding their match against the Free State Cheetahs at Newlands on Saturday, Jones said that he would like to see his team keep ball in hand more.
