Feyenoord and RVV Coal
Jacobs initially played for RVV Coal, including in its first squad in the Tweede Klasse.[2]
In 1955, he joined Feyenoord's second squad.[3] In the season of 1956–57, Jacobs played 3 games for Feyenoord's first squad in the Eredivisie, 2 of which for 90 minutes. He scored a decisive last-second goal in his debut game, on 23 September 1956 against Sportclub Enschede (later merged into FC Twente), after he entered 7 minutes before the end as a replacement for Piet Steenbergen.[3][4][5]
Hermes DVS and DVV Fluks
In 1957, Jacobs continued his player career at Schiedam-side Hermes DVS in the Eerste Divisie. Hermes had acquired Jacobs from Feyenoord for 10,000 guilders.[6] On 26 December 1957, he scored the second and third goal in the 4–0 victory of Hermes over DVV Delft in the 1957–58 KNVB Cup.
In 1959, he left HDVS for the Dordrecht-side DVV Fluks in the Tweede Klasse.[7][8]
