Dale Jennings (born December 21, 1992 in Liverpool ) is an English football player .

Career

Jennings, who was born in Liverpool , played as a teenager in the Liverpool FC academy , but was rejected there when he was 15. He subsequently joined the Tranmere Rovers , which are based in Birkenhead near Liverpool. At the beginning of the 2010/11 season Jennings was first part of the professional roster of the Rovers, who played in the third-rate Football League One . He made his debut on September 18, 2010 (7th matchday) in a 1-1 home game against Charlton Athletic . In his third game he scored his first goal in professional football with the 1-0 winner in the away game against the Bristol Rovers . By the end of his first professional season, he was used in 29 league games in which he scored six goals. In March 2011 he was named “League One Apprentice of the Year” at the Football League Awards (best young player in the league) and attracted the interest of numerous English first and second division teams .

Jennings was scouted by Dietmar Hamann and recommended to Bavaria's sports director Christian Nerlinger , who brought the offensive flank player to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2011 , the transfer fee was around 600,000 euros, according to press reports. Jennings was initially intended for the second team of FC Bayern playing in the fourth-class Regionalliga Süd . Due to injury problems, he missed large parts of his two seasons with Bayern, he also found it extremely difficult to learn the German language and was plagued by homesickness.

After 36 league appearances and two goals for the regional league team, he left Bayern a year before his contract expired and returned to England for Barnsley in the summer of 2013 for a transfer fee of £ 250,000 . On his league debut against Wigan Athletic , he was sent off just five minutes after coming on. For the second division, he only made five league appearances in the first few months before he was loaned to third division Milton Keynes Dons for six weeks at the end of November 2013 . For this he was in the starting line-up in six third division games and returned to Barnsley FC at the beginning of the year. As a result, he completed another 22 second division games for Barnsley and scored three goals and was named EFL Young Player of the Month in March 2014 , but rose with the team as penultimate in the third division. After Barnsley coach Danny Wilson's dismissal in February 2015, Jennings was hardly taken into account by his successor Lee Johnson and his fitness status was publicly reprimanded with the words "You can't play for me if you can't run."

His contract with Barnsley was terminated prematurely in July 2015 and Jennings was signed by the Milton Keynes Dons, where coach Karl Robinson knew Jennings from his time at the Liverpool Academy . Jennings also failed to establish himself in the team there, was publicly criticized by the coach for being overweight and the contract was ultimately terminated after only two competitive appearances in February 2016.

He was without a club from February 2016 to the end of September 2018 before joining the ninth division club Runcorn Town .
