Jacob first travelled with the squad in September 2015 but made his debut as a late substitute against Carshalton Athletic on 26th October 2015. Jacob was initally used as a forward and scored his first two goals for the club against Walton & Hersham in April 2016, making him the club's third-youngest scorer after Jack Griffin and Robbie Legg.
Now very much a central defender, Jacob has become a first team regular, scoring some key goals from set pieces and scooping both the Fans’ and Coaches’ Player of the Year awards in the 2022-23 season.
Having spent time off island, Jacob re-signed for the club in 2024-25 to help boost the squad. He will wear the #24 shirt.
