Jennings grew up in western Sydney and spent time with LA Galaxy as a junior.

He came through the ranks at Bonnyrigg White Eagles before joining Welsh side Wrexham, playing for their youth side and the 18-year old is now on the hunt for a new home.

Jennings is currently in Vanuatu with the Fiji Under-20 team in their bid to qualify for the 2017 Under-20 World Cup.

“Right now I'm with the Fiji U-20s national squad but I am still on the look out for a new club,” the centre forward told FourFourTwo.

“Obviously getting an A-League contract would be a dream and an amazing achievement for me but I am always open and keen to getting a contract and playing professionally overseas.”

Jennings described his time playing in the UK, where he moved as a 16-year old, as a continuous test.

“It wasn't easy living in a new country, playing a different style of football with new teammates,” he admitted.

“Giving my best to perform every week in training and games to break into the team in my first year was very tough being one of the youngest and also it didn't help being half way across the world from my home, friends and family.

“Even though I became a regular starter for the team in my second year it was still a constant expectation to perform at your very best and then try to break into the first-team.

“All together the whole two and a half years of playing in the UK week in and week out was an enormous experience for me and very educational.”

Jennings is the cousin of NRL players Michael, George and Robert Jennings, and comes from strong rugby league and rugby union stock.

“It was a bit out of left field for me to play football as a kid because everyone around me, especially my family, played rugby league,” he said.

“My family even with a history of rugby thanks to my Uncle Arthur Jennings, becoming the first Fijian and the fourth Tongan in history to play for the All Blacks, achievements the whole family are very proud of.

“Nevertheless my mum and dad are the ones who decided to register me at my local football club, Winston Hills Bears, only knowing one rule about the game, which was not to touch the ball with my hands.

"I started playing on Saturday mornings and clicked with the sport.”

Jennings said having cousins playing in the NRL has been a source of support for him.

“Having older cousins who play professionally in the NRL has been great for me,” he said.

“From a proud family member’s point of view but also it's been amazing from an aspiring professional athletes’ view. They have been huge role models for me since I was young and still are today.

“They have never turned down the opportunity to support me in my dreams and have always been there to give me advice relative to sport and life.”

Fiji opened their Oceania Under-20 Championship campaign with a 1-0 loss to Vanuatu. Two teams from the eight-team tournament qualify for the World Cup next year.

The Fijians take on New Caledonia in their next game on Tuesday.

Jennings has been training in Fiji with the team before the tournament and said it has been a “eye-opening experience”.

“Living with the boys day in and day out and sharing their lifestyle has been crazy,” he said.

“I won't lie and say it has been easy but it has definitely been humbling and very inspiring to observe what the boys go through everyday without letting that stop them from chasing their dreams.

“Although it has been very different to what I'm used to if I compare it to the UK, I have enjoyed myself the whole time and I'm very grateful for the opportunity.”
