Born in Lambeth, Kenlock was a schoolboy at Crystal Palace before leaving the club and becoming a graduate of Croydon-based charity Kinetic Foundation. He joined the Ipswich Town Academy in April 2014.[3]

On 24 August 2015, Kenlock signed a two-year professional contract with Ipswich Town, with an option for a further 12 months.[4] Kenlock made his competitive Ipswich debut against Stevenage on 11 August 2015 in the first round of the Football League Cup.[5]

Kenlock managed to break into the first team squad during the 2016–17 season. Although primarily being behind first choice left back Jonas Knudsen in the starting lineup, he made 18 appearances over the course of the season.[6]

He continued to feature for the first team during the 2017–18 season. Making 18 appearances in all competitions.[7]

Following the arrival of Paul Hurst in 2018, Kenlock saw game time limited, only making a single substitute appearance during Hurst's time in charge of the club. Following the departure of Paul Hurst and the arrival of Paul Lambert, he saw more involvement in the first team squad. He was given a consistent run of games towards the second half of the 2018–19 season, making 19 appearances over the course of the season.[8] His improvement throughout the season earned him a one-year extension on his contract, keeping him at the club until 2020.[9]

On 17 July 2019, Kenlock signed a new three-year contract with the club, with the option of a further year extension.[10]
