He signed his first professional contract with the club in May 2015, for three years, effective from 1 July 2015.[3] He made his professional debut for the club on 6 November 2015, coming on as a late substitute in the 3–0 Ligue 2 win against Tours FC.[4]

In January 2018, he joined FC Bastia-Borgo on loan in Championnat National 2 until the end of the season, in order to get extra playing time.[5]

In June 2019, despite having one year remaining on his Brest contract, Jacob signed for newly-promoted Ligue 2 side Rodez AF, on an initial one-year contract, with option to extend if relegation was avoided.[8] In July 2020 he extended his contract with Rodez until 2022, and joined Sporting Club Lyon on loan in the Championnat National for the 2020–21 season.[9] On 16 July 2021, he joined Concarneau on a season-long loan.[10]
