The Owls manager Carlos Carvalhal has reportedly been tracking the 31-year-old for the majority of the transfer window, and has finally secured a deal for the player to join the club after matching a release clause in his contract at Turf Moor.
Jones travelled from Burnley to Sheffield Wednesday's training ground in Hillsborough, and admits to a crazy few hours, however he is glad that the deal has gone through and is looking forward to the challenge in the Championship once more:
"It was a bit of a whirlwind few hours to be honest."
"When I arrived at training yesterday I had a message on my phone from my agent saying that Sheffield Wednesday have matched the buyout clause in my contract and that I can go for a medical in Sheffield."
"So I drove over to Hillsborough from Burnley and a few hours later I had completed my medical and everything had been agreed, so I was able to sign the contract."
"Wednesday is a massive club with fantastic, passionate fans and I'm delighted to be here. I can't wait to get started. I supported them growing up and loved watching the likes of Chris Waddle play."
The former Derby, Wigan and Wolves player needs just one more promotion to the Premier League to match that of former striker Kevin Phillips (5), and will be a welcome addition to the squad with the experience of 112 Premier League appearances, as well as four Championship promotions to draw from.
Wednesday's next game is at home to Leeds United, and Jones could very well make his debut for the club at the famous old ground at Hillsborough on Sunday.
