West Ham United are thrilled to announce that Carl Jenkinson will be re-joining the Club from Arsenal on a 12-month loan deal.
Jenkinson became a fans’ favourite during his spell with the Hammers last season and made 36 appearances in all competitions.
The England Under-21 defender made his debut for the east London Club as a late substitute during the 2-2 draw at Hull last September.
The 23-year-old then made his full debut against QPR in a 2-0 victory at the Boleyn Ground on October 5 and went on to become the first-choice right-back.
Jenkinson is delighted to be returning to Upton Park and hopes to play a big role under new manager Slaven Bilic this season.
Jenkinson said: "I'm really happy to be back after last year," he said. "It was a good season for the Club and a good season for myself.
"To be honest I just wanted to come back here and I'm happy everything's been sorted out. I've got another season here and I can't wait.
"I'm a young player and I haven't had too many experiences of different clubs, but I loved every minute of it here. Everything about it is fantastic - it's a real family Club, the lads are great and the fans are great, so it ticks all the boxes you want when you join a football Club.
"I've got to come in, show what I can do and prove myself to a new manager. That keeps you on your toes and I've got to go and do that in pre-season. I'm looking forward to it.
The talented full-back started his career with Charlton and had brief spells with non-league sides Welling United and Eastbourne Borough before making a move across London to join Arsenal in June 2011.
Jenkinson quickly showed Arsene Wenger that he was ready to play in the first-team and started 43 games for the north London Club. He also has experience of playing in the Champions League.
His performances have not gone un-noticed and he has been a regular in the England Under-21 side and started all three games in the European Championship Finals in the Czech Republic this summer.
Jenkinson was also called up by Roy Hodgson to the full senior squad back in 2012 and made his debut against Sweden when he appeared as a late substitute during the 4-2 defeat and will be looking to add to his one cap for England.
Jenkinson will become the sixth new arrival this summer following the signings of Darren Randolph, Pedro Obiang, Stephen Hendrie, Dimitri Payet and Angelo Ogbonna.
The right back will join up with his new manager and the first-team squad in the near future and will be looking forward to playing in the final ever season at the Boleyn Ground.
