Imposing frontman Kenwyne Jones passed the 100-appearance mark for Sunderland during the 2009-10 season.

 

The Trinidad and Tobago striker netted nine goals in 36 games for the Black Cats and laid on a number of goals for strike partner Darren Bent, with whom he has struck up a good understanding.

 

The 6'2" striker began his career with Joe Public and W Connection in Trinidad and had trials with a number of English clubs prior to joining Southampton in July 2002.

 

Jones joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan early in his Saints career and pushed his claims for a place on the south coast with seven goals in as many games for the Yorkshire outfit.

 

Jones forced his way into Southampton's first team and finished the 2006-07 season with 16 goals as the Saints lost out to Derby County in the play-off semi finals.

 

Having scored 22 goals in 80 career games for the Saints, Jones had a transfer request accepted and joined Sunderland for £6m in August 2007.

 

He debuted for Sunderland against Manchester United in September 2007 and finished his first season on Wearside with seven goals.

 

A serious knee ligament injury sustained while on international duty in summer 2008 slowed Jones' progress, but he returned in the Tyne-Wear derby the following October and topped the club's goalscoring charts in 2008-09, scoring 12 times in 32 appearances. He also signed a new four-and-a-half-year deal with the club during the season.

 

Internationally, Jones has won almost 50 caps for his native Trinidad and Tobago and participated in the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. He was named the Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation's Player of the Year in 2007.
