Talent Spot: Dale Jennings

Dale Jennings is my first young player review. He began football at Liverpool before being released as a schoolboy.  However his career was revived when Tranmere then picked him up in 2008 and he began training in their youth setup. In 2010 his First break came when he was given his proffessional footballing debut. The game was a 1-1 draw against Charlton and Jennings came off the bench in the second half. Two games later he scored his first proffessional goal for the club in a 1-0 triumph over Bristol Rovers. In his career at Tranmere  he enjoyed 29 appearances scoring 6 goals. This resulted in him winning the PFA's Apprentice of the Year award and Tranmere's Young Player of the Season. However in 2011 after rumours that Premier League Club's were after his signature, Jennings began considering his options. In July 2011 he moved to Bayern Munich and started playing for Bayern Munich II. After eight appearances Jennings suffered a huge injury, suffering multi-ligament tears in his ankle. Which Brings me to why Dale Jennings and why publish this article now? Dale has been predicted to return from injury later this month and I for one am getting exctied. Many rumours have been flying about as to how quickly he will break into the first team but I personally would suggest if he can recover in the same way Ramsey did for Arsenal then we could see him in the Bayern first team as soon as the closing fixtures of this season. With Borussia Dortmund showing that youngsters have a huge part to play in the capturing of the Bundesliga title Jennings could play a huge part.

This Youtube Video of the BBC's Football League Show shows just how good Jennings can be and Bayern could use his pace on the wing. Jennings, however, is still to recieve his first England youth call up even though he look's a real gem of a player. He reminds me of a young Aaron Lennon in his style of play and especially in terms of pace.  I'm not saying I'm the first person to notice Dale Jennings is a good player, This article is supposed to tell people what he's done, what he's about to do and what he could do.
