International Career
Jenas has played internationally for England from the Under-15 level right up to the senior team, where he made his debut against Australia on 12 February 2003. Despite struggling with injury towards the end of the 2005–06 season, he recovered sufficiently to be named in the 2006 World Cup squad. His improvement at Spurs earned him a call-up to the England squad for Fabio Capello's first game in charge, a friendly against Switzerland at Wembley. Jenas scored the opening goal as England won 2-1.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
