Career

AFC Wimbledon

Previously with Crystal Palace and Sutton United,[3] Jenkins joined AFC Wimbledon in 2019 and went on to make his first-team debut during an EFL Trophy group-stage tie in October 2021 against former side, Crystal Palace U23s, featuring for 53 minutes in the 2–0 defeat.[4] On 9 November 2021, he made a subsequent appearance, once again coming in the EFL Trophy, replacing Darius Charles in the 61st minute during Wimbledon's 1–0 defeat to another former side of Jenkins', Sutton United.[5]

On 16 December 2021, Jenkins joined National League South side Tonbridge Angels on a one-month loan deal.[6]

On 25 March 2023, following loan spells at Hampton & Richmond Borough and Weymouth,[2] Jenkins made his league debut in a 2–1 loss against Barrow, opening the scoring after just five minutes.[7]

Following the culmination of the 2022–23 season, Jenkins was released by Wimbledon.[8]

Chelmsford City

On 15 July 2023, after a successful trial period, Jenkins signed for Chelmsford City.[9] In March 2023, Jenkins was called up to the England C team, becoming the first Chelmsford player since Ricky Holmes in 2008 to be called up to the side.[10]
