Jenkins returns to the club after arguably the unluckiest debut in Super rugby last season. The tough loose forward earned a short term contract to cover for injured backrowers David Pocock and Richard Brown in 2010 but his big break was short lived after sustaining a broken leg just a minute into his first match.
After getting a taste for Super rugby Jenkins is determined to make the most of his second opporutnity and is with the Force on a one year rookie deal.
A Sydney Uni product, Jenkins has played alongside current Emirates Western Force players Mitch Inman, Ben McCalman and Nathan Charles in the NSW club compeition and will slot easily into the Force system.
His twin brother Ed previously represented the Perth Spirit in the Australian Rugby Championship.
Jenkins can play either side of the scrum and will continue his development alongside some of the games best backrowers.
