Stephen Robert Jenkins (born 16 July 1972) is a former Wales international footballer and the current Barry Town manager. A full back as a player, he won 16 Welsh caps between 1995 and 2001. [1] [2]

He began his career at Swansea, where he was a part of the team that won the 1994 Football League Trophy Final after a penalty shootout. [3] After a seven-year spell at Huddersfield Town, in which he became not only the captain but a well established fans' favourite, Jenkins signed for Swindon Town in 2005, but after Swindon's relegation to League Two and the appointment of Dennis Wise as manager, Jenkins' offer of a new deal at the County Ground was withdrawn and he was released. [4] He spent three years playing for and latterly coaching Newport County, before joining Llanelli as player/assistant manager to Andy Legg in May 2009. [5]

In June 2013 Jenkins was appointed manager of Monmouth Town.

On 20 March 2014 Jenkins was appointed assistant manager to Peter Beadle at Hereford United. [6] Hereford ended the 2013–14 season in 20th place, finishing above the relegation zone on goal difference after beating Aldershot Town on the final day of the season. [7]

On 23 May 2014, Jenkins was appointed as manager of his home town club Merthyr Town.

On 30 May 2016, Jenkins was confirmed as Hereford's assistant manager. [8] He left the role on 13 September 2018. [9]

On 4 September 2020, Jenkins joined Barnet, once again as assistant to Beadle. [10] He left the club on 18 December, shortly after Beadle's departure. [11]

On 5 August 2023, one week before the start of the 2023-24 Cymru Premier season, Jenkins was confirmed as the new manager of promoted Barry Town, replacing the departed Lee Kendall. [12]
