The 22-year-old has joined The Shaymen on an 18 month contract with the option of another year.

Explaining how Jenkins came onto Town’s radar, Millington said: "Coops knows him from his time at Leeds and we've been monitoring his progress at certain loans he's had in the past.

"A mixture of Coops being aware of him and our recruitment department being aware of him.

"We've come to the conclusion that any opportunity to sign him, we should try and follow up."
