THE BIGGER PICTURE
Jenkinson began his career at Charlton Athletic, where his performances caught the attention of Arsenal – who he signed for in 2011. While he only played 70 times for Arsenal, he also featured for the Hammers, Nottingham Forest, and made his England debut in a 4-2 loss to Sweden in 2012. For Bromley to sign such a player is quite the coup.
