Speaking on Dutch television program, Ziggo Sport’s Peptalk , the Socceroos boss said he had spoken to the Feyenoord keeper - who has been one of the Eredivisie's standout players over the past two years - about an Australia recall. 

"When I speak to someone, he also feels that he has a chance, and I was surprised that he (Jones) had not been with the national team in recent years," van Marwijk said. 

"I talked to him about that. It was a very pleasant conversation, he was very positive about the national team, I am glad about that."

The 35-year-old former Liverpool stopper has excelled in the twilight of his career since moving to the Rotterdam giants, winning a drought-breaking title last season with Feyenoord.

Feyenoord's recent 1-0 win over Heracles was Jones' 11th cleansheet of the season, as he presses his claims for Socceroos selection. 

This season has been slightly harder for Giovanni Van Bronckhorst's men, but in no part due to Jones - Feyenoord sit fourth in the league, but have conceded less goals than league leaders PSV Eindhoven. 

Jones will also face Willem II in the semi-final of the KNVB cup on March 1. With Ajax and PSV already out, Feyenoord will now be favourites to win the competition. The Australian's form since moving to De Kuip has seen his position become almost untouchable.

After Jones kept 17 clean sheets last season, Feyenoord and former Dutch national team goalkeeper, Kenneth Vermeer, was loaned out to Club Brugge for this season, leaving the Australian keeper un-opposed leading into the World Cup.
