Stats
Bio
A diminutive utility who broke into the South Melbourne lineup in the years immediately following the Second World War, Keith Jenkinson was a lightweight operator at the Lake Oval. Standing just 173cm and weighing 67kg, he relied on agility rather than physical presence, earning his senior debut in Round 1 of the 1947 season against North Melbourne. Donning the number 2 guernsey, he held his place for the first month of the campaign before spending time out of the side, eventually returning to add four more games later in the year. Despite his efforts to cement a spot in the Bloods' rotation, he was unable to impact the scoreboard during his eight appearances and departed the VFL landscape after a single season at the elite level.
