Jones has admitted he would have left Stoke in the summer if Mark Hughes had not replaced Tony Pulis as manager at the club.
Jones told Sky Sports News: “The atmosphere at the club, and the entire squad could testify to it, wasn’t good.
“The things that we were doing, and the way that we were playing football, it was not encouraging for a lot of us.
“You would probably not have seen a lot of the players at the club if the situation had remained the same.
“But things can change sometimes pretty quickly in football. You just have to sometimes weather the storm.
“Whether there is a future or not that’s left to be seen but at the moment I am happy with the way that we are working every day. It’s been wonderful since the new manager and new team came in.”
