[hide]Club career[edit]
Charlton Athletic[edit]
Jenkinson joined Conference South side Welling United on loan in January 2010,[3] before starting a three-month loan with Conference Premier side Eastbourne Borough in November 2010.[4] However, he was recalled by Charlton after a month.[5] He made his first appearance for Charlton Athletic in the Football League Trophy Southern Section semi-final clash with Brentford at Griffin Park in December 2010, playing the whole match in the right-back position.[6]
Arsenal[edit]
Jenkinson signed for Arsenal in June 2011,[7] for an undisclosed fee thought to be around £1 million.[8]
On 16 August 2011, Jenkinson made his Arsenal competitive debut in the final qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League against Udinese, coming on as a second half substitute, replacing the injured Johan Djourou early in the second half. Jenkinson made his Premier League debut against Liverpool on 20 August 2011, starting at right-back. He kept his place in the team, playing in the second leg against Udinese and then at Old Trafford against Manchester United in the Premier League, although he was sent off later in the game for a foul on Javier Hernández. He also assisted Robin van Persie to score Arsenal's second in the game in a 8–2 loss against Manchester United. Jenkinson continued a string of appearances for Arsenal in Bacary Sagna's absence with an impressive performance againstWest Bromwich.[9] Jenkinson suffered a stress fracture in his lower back which kept him out for 3 months. He made his return for the reserve team against Norwich City, playing 45 minutes. He continued his return to football coming on as a substitute against Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby, a game which he watched from the stands the previous year.
Due to an injury to first choice right back, Bacary Sagna, Jenkinson started the first five matches of the 2012–13 season, and earned plaudits for his performance against Manchester City, among others.
On 19 December 2012, it was announced that Jenkinson, along with teammates Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere, signed a new long term contract with Arsenal.[10]
2013-14 season[edit]
Jenkinson featured in all three of Arsenal's opening games of the 2013–14 campaign as injuries to defenders Thomas Vermaelen andLaurent Koscielny forced Bacary Sagna to fill in at centre-back and Jenkinson to deputise at right-back. Despite Koscielny later returning, Jenkinson kept his place in the first-team after impressing against Fenerbahçe S.K..[11]
Jenkinson picked up his first assist of the season against Sunderland on 14 September, picking out Aaron Ramsey on the edge of the box, who found the net with a volley. He made several substitute appearances for the Gunners, after this game but started in the League Cup against Chelsea, a game which Arsenal lost 2-0. He later picked up his second assist of 2013-14 campaign against Hull City, crossing the ball to Nicklas Bendtner to head home in the second minute.[12]
On 11 May 2014 Jenkinson scored his first senior team goal for Arsenal in their 2-0 victory over Norwich City on the last day of the 2013-14 season. [13]
International career[edit]
Jenkinson has an English father and a Finnish mother, and represented both England and Finland at youth international level.[14]

Jenkinson also made an appearance for the Finland U-21 national team on 3 June 2011 in a UEFA U-21 qualifying match that resulted in a 0–0 draw against Malta.[16]
On 15 October 2012, Roy Hodgson revealed that Jenkinson had trained with the England national team prior to their World Cup Qualifieragainst Poland, following the withdrawal of fellow right back Kyle Walker. Hodgson also stated that Jenkinson had elected to make himself available for England rather than Finland in future, despite the increased competition for places.[17] He made his senior debut for England on 14 November 2012 coming on as a second half substitute in a friendly against Sweden.[18]
In October 2013, Jenkinson was first called up to the England U21 squad for European Championship qualifiers against the Under 21 sides of Lithuania and San Marino.[19] He kept his place in the squad for the following qualifiers, one of which was against his former side Finland U21, a game in which he started.
