Born in Barbados, Jacob moved to England and Warwickshire at the age of 12. He earned a scholarship at Rugby School and then was picked up by the Warwickshire Academy.
After impressing in the Academy and 2nd XI cricket, he was awarded a three year senior deal with the Bears in January 2021. The 2021 season proved fruitful for the young talent, playing the majority of the One Day Cup while also making his T20 and First-Class debut at Edgbaston.
2024 has been a breakthrough season, scoring heavily for Birmingham Bears in the Vitality Blast including a 15 ball 50 v Northants at Edgbaston. He continued the form for Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred, playing some fine match defining innings.
This form earned him contracts with Paarl Royals and Melbourne Renegades for 2024/5 seasons in SA20 & BBL respectively and also his first call up to an England squad for the IT20 series against Australia in September 2024, making his debut at Southampton on the 11th.
An ODI debut followed at Nottingham v Australia on September 19th
