#2 Brad Jones – Feyenoord
Trending
Brad Jones joined Liverpool after having spent more than 10 years on the books of Middlesbrough. After signing at Anfield, the Australian shot-stopper had several loan stints at clubs which included the likes of Blackpool and Sheffield Wednesday before he finally established himself at the Riverside stadium in the 2008-09 season.
His impressive performances for the struggling Boro side did not go unnoticed and when Liverpool came calling in the summer of 2010. And it seemed like the perfect step up for the then 28-year-old. However, the move never took off as the player struggled to find consistent game time at Merseyside and was largely restricted to the bench.
Cut to the present and the Australian shot-stopper, who moved to Feyenoord at the start of the 2016-17 season is surely enjoying one of the best seasons of his career. The 34-year-old has played in 23 of Feyenoord’s 25 league games and has kept an incredible 14 clean sheets to help his side establish themselves as the best team defensively in the Netherlands.
Jones has been dominant in the air while also showing great reflexes to frustrate the opposition time and again. He averages close to three saves per game and has also been tidy with his distribution, making him an invaluable member of the Giovanni van Bronckhorst led side.
