Englishman Jenkins signs for the New York Giants

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Englishman Alex Jenkins has signed for the NFL’s New York Giants as a free agent.

The 26-year-old defensive end, who was cut by the New Orleans Saints before the 2018 season, came through the NFL’s International Player Pathway scheme.

Jenkins was given a deal following a try-out at the Giants’ rookie minicamp over the weekend.

Bath-born Jenkins must now try to make the franchise’s final 52-man roster before the season kicks off in August.
