Jack Christopher Senior (born 13 January 1997) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for EFL League Two club Doncaster Rovers.
Born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, [2] Senior started out at Elland Juniors before joining the youth system at Huddersfield Town aged 10. [5] He began a two-year scholarship at the start of 2013–14, [6] before signing his first professional contract with the club for 2015–16. [7] Senior was involved in the first-team pre-season programme, [8] but predominantly played for the Development Squad that won the Northern Division by eight points, for whom he scored two goals from 36 appearances. [9] At the end of the season, Huddersfield took up the option to extend Senior's contract by a further year. [10]
Senior signed for League Two club Luton Town on a two-year contract on 31 August 2016. [11] After signing for Luton, manager Nathan Jones said "He ticks all the boxes for us. He's a young, hungry and athletic player who wants to learn." [11] He suffered an injury setback in training, [12] though he made his Luton debut on 4 October, starting in their 2–0 victory at home to West Bromwich Albion U21 in the EFL Trophy. [5] [13] Senior made his English Football League debut as a 56th-minute substitute for Jordan Cook in a 2–1 win away to Crewe Alexandra on 14 January 2017. [14] Thereafter, he made 10 consecutive starts, [15] which ended when he was rested for Luton's league match against Yeovil Town on 4 March. [16] Senior started in Luton's 1–1 draw at home to Exeter City two weeks later, [17] but missed their subsequent four matches after he was sidelined with a foot injury. [18] In April 2017, he was named in the EFL Trophy Team of the Tournament. [19] Despite being available for selection, Senior made no further appearances and finished 2016–17 with 16 appearances. [15]
On 14 November 2017, Senior signed a one-year contract extension with Luton, with the option of a further year. [20] He joined National League club Harrogate Town on 31 January 2019 on loan until the end of 2018–19. [21] Senior was released by Luton when his contract expired at the end of the 2018–19 season. [22]
After leaving Luton, Senior went on trial with Grimsby Town in July 2019, [23] but was not offered a contract. [24] He signed for National League North club Gloucester City on 26 November 2019 [25] and scored on his debut four days later in a 2–2 home draw with Kettering Town. [26]
Senior signed for National League club FC Halifax Town on 21 August 2020. [27]
Senior signed for League Two club Doncaster Rovers on 8 June 2023 on a two-year contract. [28]
