Josh Jenkins signs five-year deal to stay with Adelaide Crows

Adelaide forward Josh Jenkins has re-signed with the Crows for five years.

The long-term deal locks Jenkins away until the end of the 2021 season.

There had been speculation earlier in the season he may be open to leaving the Crows.

But the 27-year-old said he ‘always intended’ on reaching a deal with Adelaide.

‘I really believe in what we’ve built here and what we can continue to achieve going forward,’ Jenkins said in a club statement.
