Jenna Olivia Legg (born 23 July 1997) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Oxford United in the FA Women's National League South.[2]

Club career

In March 2019, Legg left Brighton by mutual consent and was praised by the team's coach Hope Powell: "Jenna leaves the club having played a huge part in our recent success, and her contribution will not be forgotten."[6]

On 22 August 2019, Legg signed with FA Women's Championship team Charlton Athletic,[7] before moving to Watford in 2021. She signed for Oxford United in February 2023.[8]
