Leeds United loanee decision explained as Thorp Arch youngster challenged away from Elland Road

Michael Skubala will be keeping a keen eye on the progress of Jack Jenkins during his loan at Salford City this season. The Leeds United midfielder made the move to Salford last month as the summer transfer window drew to a close and he will spend the rest of the campaign with the League Two side.

Jenkins had been a regular in the United’s Under-21s ranks prior to his move, appearing in Skubala’s midfield in Premier League 2 Division 2 wins over Derby County and Aston Villa. However, the decision was made to allow the 20-year-old to leave Thorp Arch in pursuit of first-team football.

He made an impressive start to life at the Peninsula Stadium, too, finding the back of the net in a 2-1 win over Liverpool U21s in the Papa John’s Trophy. However, he is still waiting to make his league debut for the Ammies, despite being named on the bench four times.
