Maggie Jenkins

Now 25, Jenkins was just 16 when she made her debut for the Football Ferns against Thailand in 2017 and went on to represent her country at three World Cups as part of their U-17 and U-20s squads.

At domestic level, meanwhile, she previously played college football in the USA for the University of Central Florida and gained further overseas experience with a spell at Turkish club ALG Spor.

After returning to New Zealand, she was named the 2025 Women’s National League MVP after claiming the Golden Boot with 15 goals in just nine games for CF Wellington United and Glory’s latest recruit continued that form earlier this year by bagging 15 in seven appearances for Auckland United.

Jenkins completed a move across the Tasman NPLW Victoria side Essendon Royals in May and duly found the net six times in her first four games, with that fine form across 2025 and 2026 earning her a recall to the Football Ferns squad for their recent friendlies against Haiti and Morocco.

She signed for Glory in July 2026.
