The ex-Scotland youth international started his career at Reading and rose up through the youth ranks there. However, he never made a senior appearance for the Royals and was loaned out to Hemel Hempstead Town, Braintree Town and Motherwell as a youngster.

Jules left Reading on a permanent basis in 2017 and spent two years on the books at Shrewsbury Town. He had loan spells away from the Shrews at Barnet, Port Vale and Chesterfield.

He then moved to Macclesfield Town during the 2018/19 season and made 14 appearances for the Silkmen to help them survive in the Football League.

Walsall came calling after his time at Moss Rose and he has since slotted in nicely into their side. Darrell Clarke could now lose him in the near future with the likes of Cardiff, Blackburn and Birmingham all linked with a swoop for him.
