Jermaine Anthony Jenas (/[invalid input: 'icon']ˈdʒiːnəs/ JEE-nəs;[2] born 18 February 1983) is an [British]] professional footballer who plays for Queens Park Rangers. He is of mixed African-Caribbean and English descent.[3]

Club career

Nottingham Forest

Born in Nottingham, Jenas began his career at Nottingham Forest where he immediately impressed during the 2001–02 season. After a single season at the City Ground, which produced four goals in 33 games, Jenas was sold to Newcastle United for £5 million in February 2002.[4]

Newcastle United

Despite an impressive first full season with Newcastle United, in which he won the 2002–03 PFA Young Player of the Year award,[5] Jenas failed to repeat his initial form with the club and his two subsequent seasons were disappointing considering his early promise. Known for his strong "box-to-box" play and ability to score from midfield, Jenas' last two years with Newcastle were marked by a series of inexplicably bland displays, both goals and energy started to dry up, leading to Jenas starting fewer games. Despite temporarily regaining his form and gaining the vice-captaincy under new manager Graeme Souness early in the 2004–05 season, Jenas' form dipped again with only two goals in 48 appearances. He scored a total of 12 goals in 152 appearances for Newcastle United.

Tottenham Hotspur

Rumours of his unhappiness were confirmed early in the 2005–06 season by manager Graeme Souness, when he revealed Jenas was not enjoying life at Newcastle, and the player reportedly compared life at the club to living 'in a goldfish bowl'. He was sold to Tottenham Hotspur on transfer deadline day of 31 August for an initial fee of £7 million,.[6] Throughout the season, Jenas netted seven goals from midfield as Tottenham qualified for the UEFA Cup. He marked his return from a 13-match absence through injury by scoring the second goal in Tottenham's 3–1 FA Cup fourth round win over Southend United.

He signed a new five-year deal with Tottenham on 29 August 2007, keeping him at the club until 2012.[7] Under Juande Ramos, Jenas' form improved greatly and he initially produced occasional impressive performances, partly due to the new regime but also from some personal words of encouragement from the Spaniard.[8] Jenas played in 1–1 draw and the 5–1 victory over rivals Arsenal in both legs of the semi-finals of the League Cup, scoring the opening goals in both matches. Jenas set up Jonathan Woodgate for the winning goal in the 2–1 League Cup final victory over Chelsea on 24 February 2008.

At the end of July 2008, Jenas added a one-year extension to his five-year contract keeping him at Tottenham until 2013. A few days later Jenas was named as Spurs' new vice-captain following the departures of Robbie Keane and Paul Robinson. On Boxing Day against Fulham, Jenas made his 100th league appearance for Tottenham.[9] He scored the only goal in a 1–0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Aston Villa (loan)

On 31 August 2011, Jenas joined Aston Villa on a season loan deal from Tottenham Hotspur.[10] Jenas wore the number 8 shirt at Villa, the same number he had while at Spurs.[11] Jenas eventually made his debut for Aston Villa on 5 November 2011, after a series of niggling injuries, coming on as a second half substitute against Norwich City. Jenas then came on for his second appearance for Aston Villa, on 27 November 2011 against Swansea City, as a 69th minute substitute for Emile Heskey.[12] On 3 December 2011, Jenas started his first game for Villa against Manchester United. Whilst playing, he tripped on the Villa Park pitch and suffered a ruptured achilles injury in a game that saw him, Shay Given and Javier Hernandez all leave on stretchers. The injury kept him out for six months.[13]

Return to Tottenham

He returned to Tottenham following his surgery, being given the number 21 for forthcoming 2012-13 season. He finally made an appearance for Tottenham coming on as a substitute in a 1-1 draw against West Brom on 25 August 2012.

Return to Nottingham Forest

On 28 September 2012 Jenas signed a one month loan deal with Forest.[14] He scored his first goal of his loan spell away at Barnsley in a 4-1 win. On 1 November 2012, Forest announced that Jenas' loan had been extended until January.[15]

QPR

On the final day of the January 2013 transfer window QPR signed Jenas on an 18-month contract for an undisclosed fee from Tottenham.[16]

International career

Jenas has played internationally for England from the Under-15 level right up to the senior team, where he made his debut against Australia on 12 February 2003. Despite struggling with injury towards the end of the 2005–06 season, he recovered sufficiently to be named in the 2006 World Cup squad. His improvement at Spurs earned him a call-up to the England squad for Fabio Capello's first game in charge, a friendly against Switzerland at Wembley. Jenas scored the opening goal as England won 2-1.
