Former Leeds United midfielder Vinnie Jones has taken up an ambassadorial role with the club's official foundation.

Jones, who helped Leeds United to win the second division in 1990, has become the ambassador for Leeds United Foundation's Ability Counts programme.




The 50-year-old is delighted to help his former club's foundation by taking the role.

Jones, who now works as an actor and has starred in a number of hit films, told the club's official site: "It's an absolute honour to become an Ambassador for the Leeds United Foundation and the Ability Counts Programme.
 

 

"The Foundation helps thousands of people with physical and mental disabilities every year and is a cause really close to my heart", Jones continued.

"Leeds United is a magnificent club with magnificent supporters and the work the Foundation do as the clubs own charity really helps bind the community together and unite the city."

Jones remains a firm favourite at Elland Road due to his all-action and committed displays for the Whites during his spell at the club between 1989 and 1990.

The 50-year-old moved on to Sheffield United when he left Leeds, while he then joined Chelsea.

A second spell at Wimbledon was clocked up by the former midfielder between 1992 and 1998, while he finished off his career at another London club in the shape of QPR.
