This week he attended the GK316 Academy presentation evening and won
Most Improved Goalkeeper
Presented by Exeter City goalkeepers Joe Whitworth, Jack Bycroft & Frankie Phillips, this is a brilliant recognition of the hard work he’s put in all season.
Jacob has fully embraced his development—showing a fantastic attitude, real willingness to learn, and the ability to reflect and improve across all areas of his game. From training to match days, his commitment and progress have shone.
A well-deserved award and a great example of what can be achieved through effort, trust in the process, and a desire to keep improving.
