He made 167 league appearances for the club, in which he scored 112 goals, before he joined Chester City in June 1931. He made 48 league appearances and scored 33 goals and in 1933 joined Bangor City..

Jennings officially scored Chester's first ever Football League goal in a 1–1 draw with Wrexham on September 2 1931. Although Chester had beaten Wigan Borough 4-0 four days earlier (with Jennings scoring the third goal), the result was deleted after Wigan resigned from the Football League in October 1931.

Later in the season he scored Chester's first Football League hat-trick [cite book | author=Chas Sumner | title=On the Borderline: The Official History of Chester City 1885-1997 | year=1997| pages= p.51|id=ISBN 1-874427-52-6] , when he scored all the club's goals in a 5–1 win over Walsall in January 1932. His tally of five goals in one game has only been matched once (by Barry Jepson in 1958) and never bettered by a Chester player in a Football League fixture [cite book | author=Chas Sumner | title=On the Borderline: The Official History of Chester City 1885-1997 | year=1997| pages= p.130|id=ISBN 1-874427-52-6] . Jennings also scored four times in a 7–2 win over Rochdale in April 1932 and comfortably ended the season as Chester's top scorer, with 30 league goals to his name. But he only played nine more league games for the club after this and moved on.
