Early career

At the start of the 2023 Super Rugby Aupiki season, Jenkins scored her first try for Matatū in their first-ever win in the competition; they narrowly beat the Blues 33–31 in Dunedin.[12][13] She scored her second try in her side's 38–46 loss to Chiefs Manawa.[14] She was named to the starting lineup for Matatū's grand final clash with Chiefs Manawa; her side defeated the defending champions to claim their first title.[15][16] On 17 April 2023, Jenkins was listed among the 34 players who were handed Black Ferns contracts in their buildup ahead of the 2025 Rugby World Cup.[17][18]
