- Biography:
Jenkins first joined the Panthers as a 19-year-old from the small country town of Boorowa, progressing through the club’s pathways system. He was part of the extended 22-man Panthers squad for the 2023 Grand Final before spending a season with the Knights in 2024.
At the end of that year, Jenkins returned home to Penrith with no intention of playing NRL again, instead focused on rediscovering his enjoyment of the game. His career took a remarkable turn in 2025, starting in the Ron Massey Cup with St Marys before earning a lifeline from coach Ivan Cleary to join the Panthers’ NSW Cup side.
That opportunity sparked a stunning resurgence. In 2026, Jenkins became the first player in premiership history to score multiple tries in seven consecutive games, while also equalling Penrith’s record for the most doubles in a single season. He is now widely regarded as one of the competition’s form wingers.
