Early Life
Sarah Jones was on born 24th June 1982 and was brought up in Echuca, Victoria, to her loving and caring parents, Tony (father) and Chris (mother). She is one of five children born to her parents. The whole family had to see an accident while going in a car. It was in 1990 when the vehicle crashed, and the father, Chris, lost his life.
At that time, Sarah was the only child not there in the car, and the siblings managed to escape. Sarah Jones and her grandfather, Jack Jones, have always supported the sports club.

Sarah Jones Career
When Jones was 17, she gained practical work experience at Seven Network, where she worked on a project during the 2000 Sydney Olympics. After studying journalism at RMIT, she joined the Fox Footy Channel as a reporter in 2002. She later became a presenter and reporter at Fox Sports News, primarily focusing on covering AFL and cricket. Jones also contributed to Foxtel’s coverage of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics. Following this, she worked as a reporter during Fox Sports’ coverage of Big Bash.
Jones hosted AFL Tonight on Fox Sports News in 2016 and later worked as a boundary rider for Fox Footy’s AFL coverage. During that same year, in June, she temporarily replaced Eddie McGuire as the studio host of Fox Thursday Night coverage after McGuire made sexist comments on the radio. As a result, Jones assumed the hosting duties on Thursdays for the remainder of the season.
In 2018, her responsibilities grew as she co-hosted “On The Mark” alongside Kelli Underwood and Neroli Meadows, both female broadcasters. As a result, Jones took on additional duties, such as hosting Fox Footy’s match-day coverage, primarily on Thursdays and Saturdays, and during the AFLW season. Furthermore, she hosted Fox Footy’s Grand Final Day preview during her time as the AFLW host. Jones also acted as the master of various award ceremonies, such as the All-Australian Awards, the AFLPA MVP, and the Australian Football Hall of Fame.
Jones became a host and boundary reporter for Fox Cricket in 2018, during its BBL coverage, following the network’s reacquisition of cricket rights in Australia.
