Born in Runcorn, Jennins was educated at Rydal Penrhos in North Wales.[2]

Jennins played his rugby for Merseyside club Waterloo and was capped three times by England. He made his debut as a centre against the touring Wallabies at Twickenham in 1967 and featured twice in that year's Five Nations, including a victory over Ireland at Lansdowne Road. A Lancashire representative, Jennins played in the 1968–69 County Championship final win against Cornwall, with his sideline conversion in the 60th minute proving to be the difference.[3]
