Career
Tranmere Rovers
Jennings played youth football at Liverpool before being released as schoolboy. He soon joined Tranmere Rovers aged 15, having played for other clubs and having visited Rovers for a trial.[2]
He made his club, and Football League debut on 18 September 2010 in Tranmere's 1–1 draw against Charlton Athletic, coming on as a second half substitute.[3] On 28 September 2010 he scored his first goal for the club in a 1–0 win against Bristol Rovers in his third senior match for the club.[4] Jennings followed this up a few games later with a brace and two assists in the 4-2 victory over Milton Keynes Dons. On 13 November, Jennings scored a winner against Plymouth Argyle with a twisting run from the halfway line.[5]
In October 2010, Jennings received the award for Apprentice of the month from the PFA.[6]
His goal against Plymouth helped attract interest from larger clubs,[7] and Tranmere rejected an offer for Jennings from an unnamed Premier League club in the 2011 January transfer window.[8] In March 2011, he was voted League One Apprentice of the Year at the Football League awards[9] and Tranmere's 'Young Player of the Season', as voted for by Rovers fans.[citation needed]
