Nominally a central midfielder, Jenkins has featured heavily for Leeds’ Under-23 and Under-21 sides over the past couple of seasons, but has only made one senior appearance to date.

In search of regular game-time at this stage in his career, Jenkins has been granted a loan switch to the Peninsula Stadium, where Leeds’ Under-21s were defeated in the Papa John’s Trophy last season.

A statement from Leeds United read: “The 20-year-old has made one senior appearance for the Whites and will now look to gain further experience across the Pennines.

“We wish Jack good luck during his time at the Peninsula Stadium.”

Jenkins’ Leeds deal expires in June 2024.
