Career
Jacobs was born in Maasbree, Limburg, and began his footballing development with local side MVC '19. In December 2014, he joined the youth academy of VVV-Venlo, where he progressed through the ranks.Ahead of the 2022–23 season, Jacobs was included in the first-team squad by newly appointed head coach Rick Kruys. He made his professional debut on 5 August 2022, coming on as a substitute in a 3–0 victory over Almere City. Jacobs made his second appearance on 21 August 2022 in a match against PEC Zwolle. Brought on early due to an injury to teammate Sem Dirks, he inadvertently scored an own goal and was later sent off for a second bookable offence before half-time, as VVV suffered a 4–0 defeat. In October 2022, Jacobs was officially promoted to the first team alongside fellow academy graduate Luuk Vosselman. However, due in part to injuries, he did not make any further senior appearances and left the club in 2024.
Following a spell training with De Treffers, Jacobs signed with Wittenhorst of the Vierde Divisie in February 2025.
