Jones' Feyenoord progressed to the next round of the KNVB Beker on Wednesday after a 5-1 drubbing of ADO Den Haag.
The 34-year-old ex-Socceroos gloveman only conceded three minutes from time with his side already 5-0 up thanks to a hat-trick from Jones' former Liverpool team-mate Dirk Kuyt.

It capped a great day for the Australian, who was also named in the official UEFA Europa League Team of the Group Stage.
