Carl Daniel Jenkinson (born 8 February 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a right back for Premier League club Arsenal. Jenkinson began his career with Charlton Athletic before joining Arsenal in 2011. He played the 2014–15 and 2015–16 seasons with West Ham United on loan, but his second spell was cut short by a mid-season cruciate ligament injury. He represented both the English and Finnish national teams at youth level before making his debut for the England national team in 2012.
Jenkinson joined Conference South club Welling United on loan in January 2010, and on 10 October was named in a Charlton squad for the first time, their 3–4 defeat away to Shrewsbury Town in the first round of the League Cup. In November, he started a three-month loan with Conference Premier club Eastbourne Borough in November 2010. However, he was recalled by Charlton after a month.
He made his first appearance for Charlton Athletic in the Football League Trophy Southern Section semi-final clash with Brentford at Griffin Park in December 2010, playing the whole match in the right-back position. Brentford won the penalty shoot-out after a goalless draw. Having been an unused substitute for the first time on 9 October 2010 in a 2–2 draw at Plymouth Argyle, Jenkinson was given his Football League debut by Chris Powell on 15 February 2011, replacing Simon Francis after 52 minutes of a 2–1 League One defeat at Hartlepool United. He made seven more league appearances that season, all as a starter.
