Dale boss praises captain Jones

The Spotland outfit have not won a promotion since 1969 and have lost in the League Two play-offs in the last two seasons.They head into new campaign boosted by the Dale captain's recent decision to put pen-to-paper on a two-year contract extension.Hill said: "He is integral to what we are doing here, a vital part of the machine. In fact he is the machine."Personally I cannot give him enough credit for the way he conducted himself over this and the attitude he takes into training and onto the pitch."Every league club would like a Gary Jones, there is no doubt about that, and we are very pleased he is with us."
