In September 2016 Jennings joined National League North side AFC Fylde,[7] but by December he had joined local league rivals Curzon Ashton. On 15 June 2017 he penned a one-year deal with Alfreton Town. During his time at Alfreton he received a call up for England C as back up but never made an appearance .[8]

In July 2022, Jennings joined Northern Premier League Division One West club Ramsbottom United following a spell with Widnes FC.[9] In May 2023, he signed for Newcastle Town.[10]
