[edit] Career
Jennings started his career at Tottenham Hotspur before making his name with UCD. He moved north to Derry City after several seasons at Belfield Park.He is currently on loan to Sligo Rovers.
He unsuccessfully tried to displace first choice keeper David Forde, but rejected offers to leave the club at the end of the 2005 season.[citation needed] Jennings was able to be the hero for Derry in the 2006 eircom League Cup final against Shelbourne as he came on from the substitute's bench to fill the place of Forde, who had been sent off in the 84th minute of play. The game went to penalties and Jennings saved all of the Shelbourne's attempts. He is the only goalkeeper in the world to have saved 3 consecutive penalties so in a senior cup final.[citation needed]
With the departure of Forde to Cardiff City at the end of the 2005-06 season, Jennings began the 2007 season as Derry coach Pat Fenlon's first-choice goalkeeper despite the signing of Ola Tidman.
