The 18-year-old is a 6’1” first-year centre-forward who is a powerful runner and always a threat in behind opposition defences.
He joined League Two Shrewsbury Town’s academy at under-16 level.
He started his career as a goalkeeper but changed to a forward midway through his childhood.
He has impressed in pre-season for Diamonds, with goals against Stamford AFC and Cogenhoe United to date.
Diamonds manager Andy Burgess told his club’s website: “Jenson has been with us since the start of pre-season after his release from Shrewsbury and we’ve been so pleased with what we’ve seen from him and are delighted he’s put pen-to-paper with us.
“When we did work on him during the close season, we were extremely excited not only by his goalscoring abilities but his movement, pace and power and effectiveness at the top end of the pitch. Looking at him, it’s easy to think he’s a lot older than he is but having only just turned 18 he is someone we are looking forward to working with and developing within the club and allowing him the platform in senior football. He’s a natural goalscorer and those are extremely hard to come by”.
