Arsenal
He signed his first professional contract in 2010,[8] and was named in a Charlton squad for the first time for their 4–3 League Cup defeat away to Shrewsbury Town in August.[9] In November, he started a three-month loan with Conference Premier club Eastbourne Borough.[10] He made five appearances in the first month, including a man-of-the-match performance in the FA Trophy against Boreham Wood, before being recalled by Charlton.[11] He went straight into the starting eleven at right back for the Football League Trophy Southern Section semi-final clash with Brentford at Griffin Park,[12] and played the whole match as Brentford won the penalty shoot-out after a goalless draw.[13] Jenkinson was given his Football League debut by Chris Powell on 15 February 2011; he replaced Simon Francis after 52 minutes of a 2–1 League One defeat at Hartlepool United.[14] He made seven more league appearances that season, all as a starter.[15]
Arsenal
2011–12 season
Jenkinson signed for Arsenal in June 2011,[16] for an undisclosed fee thought to be around £1 million.[17]
On 16 August, he made his competitive debut in the final qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League against Udinese, as a 55th-minute substitute for the injured left-back Johan Djourou.[18][19] He made his Premier League debut against Liverpool, four days later, starting at right back.[20] Jenkinson kept his place in the team, starting in the second leg against Udinese[19] and then in an eventful Premier League fixture against Manchester United at Old Trafford. He crossed for Robin van Persie to score Arsenal's second goal of a match that United won 8–2, but was sent off three minutes later for a second yellow card.[21] According to the Guardian's player ratings, he had "no protection in front of him, no guidance to the side of him and gave a hapless display as a consequence."[22] Jenkinson played regularly after Bacary Sagna broke a leg in October, but suffered a stress fracture in his lower back which kept him out for three months.[23] He made his return in the North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur on 26 February 2012, playing the last 15 minutes of a 5–2 victory,[24][19] but appeared only twice more in what remained of the season.[19]
2012–13 season
Jenkinson playing for Arsenal in 2012
With Sagna still unavailable through injury, Jenkinson was a regular starter in the first couple of months of the 2012–13 season. His performances improved, earning appreciation from teammates,[25] media,[26] and the England manager.[27]
Jenkinson and teammates Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere all signed new long-term contracts with Arsenal in December 2012.[28] He made only six more appearances in the rest of the season;[29] in one of the six, a 1–0 win away to Sunderland on 9 February which he started only because Laurent Koscielny was injured in the warm-up, he was sent off after being booked twice for a "lunge" on Jack Colback and a "clumsy challenge" on Stéphane Sessègnon.[30]
2013–14 season
Jenkinson featured in all three of Arsenal's opening matches of the 2013–14 campaign as injuries to defenders Thomas Vermaelen and Koscielny forced Sagna to fill in at centre-back and Jenkinson to deputise at right back.[citation needed] Despite Koscielny later returning, Jenkinson kept his place in the first-team after impressing against Fenerbahçe.[31]
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.[32]
West Ham United loans
On 31 July 2014, Jenkinson joined fellow London-based top-flight club West Ham United for a season-long loan deal.[33] He suffered a pre-season hamstring injury in August, in a match in the Schalke 04 Cup against Málaga, and did not make his debut for West Ham until 15 September, in a 2–2 away draw against Hull City.[34][35] Jenkinson quickly established himself as the team's first-choice right back and impressed pundits and fans with his consistent displays and good form.[36][37]
After signing a new long-term contract with Arsenal in July 2015, Jenkinson rejoined West Ham United on loan for a second season.[38] On 15 August, he played in goal for the final moments of a 2–1 home defeat to Leicester City when Adrián had been sent off with no substitutions remaining.[39] A week later, Jenkinson himself was sent off for a foul on Max Gradel in a 4–3 home defeat to AFC Bournemouth.[40] He scored his first West Ham goal on 3 October in a 2–2 away draw against Sunderland. With West Ham losing 2–0 in first-half added time, he scored from Victor Moses' cross to make the score 2–1.[41] Jenkinson suffered a "significant" knee injury on 23 January 2016, after clashing with Sergio Agüero in a home 2–2 draw against Manchester City.[42] It was confirmed as an ACL injury, and Jenkinson returned to Arsenal for rehabilitation
