Ross Aden Jenkins (born 9 November 1990) is an English footballer who plays for Crawley Town as a central midfielder.

Jenkins is the second player with his name to have played competitive football for Watford. He is no relation to the Ross Jenkins who played for Watford from 1972 to 1983, and was a two-time Watford Player of the Season.[3][4]

Career

Jenkins was born in Watford and began a two-year academy scholarship with Watford in summer 2007. During the 2007–08 season he played regularly in the club's under-18 side, as well as appearing for the reserves.[5] After appearing frequently for Watford's first team during the 2008 pre-season, he made his competitive debut on 12 August 2008 whilst still an academy scholar. Jenkins played the entire game as Watford beat League One side Bristol Rovers 1–0 in the League Cup. He remained in the club's League Cup team, playing full games against Darlington, West Ham United and Swansea City before Watford bowed out to Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-final.[6]

Jenkins made his league debut in the defeat at Barnsley on 15 November 2008 under the management of Malky Mackay,[7] and retained his place in the team thereafter, scoring his first league goal in the 3–2 defeat at promotion contenders Birmingham City on 6 December.[6] In 2009, Jenkins formed a midfield partnership with Jack Cork, in which the team climbed to 13th place in the league by the end of the season. He made his 50th start for Watford on 20 October 2009 against Ipswich Town.[8]

Having made one appearance for Watford at the start of the 2012–13 season, Jenkins signed for Plymouth Argyle on an initial one-month loan on 21 September.[9][10] He scored on his debut in League Two as the club came from two goals behind to win 3–2 at Morecambe.[11] After scoring his first goal, Jenkins said he determinted to expect to score more goals at Plymouth.[12] However, Jenkins time at Plymouth Argyle was short-lived and return to his parent club after suffering a groin injury[13] Jenkins joined Barnet on loan in March 2013,[14] and made his debut when he played 90 minutes in a 4–1 home win over Morecambe.[15] He scored his first goal for Barnet in a 3–2 defeat at Accrington Stanley on 16 March 2013.[16] Jenkins made 5 appearances in total before returning to Watford.

After leaving Watford, Jenkins had unsuccessful trials with Southend United, and with Chicago Fire in the U.S.A.,[17] as well as training with Malky Mackay's Wigan Athletic at the beginning of the 2014/15 season. On 17 September 2015, he joined Crawley Town, after more than a year of being out-of-contract.[18]

Jenkins made his league début for Crawley, his first competitive appearance in two years and five months, in a 4–1 loss at Notts County on 22 September 2015.[19]

International career

Jenkins received his first call up to the England U20 squad on 7 August 2009.[20] He started in their friendly against Montenegro a few days later at The Hawthorns which ended in a 5-0 victory
