However, the 30-year-old’s arrest and court appearance in Jersey following an altercation outside a nightclub last month did not go unnoticed.

“Everything impacts on selection,” said Jones, who is expected to announce his latest training squad on 20 September.

“If a guy gets in trouble all the time you’ve got to have second thoughts about it. We will make a decision on whether he’s going to add value to the team.”
