About Jake Jervis

Born 1991. Jake Jervis is a British association football player.

2010–11 season Prior to the start of the 2010–11 season, Jervis joined Notts County, newly promoted to League One, on loan until January 2011. Jervis played regularly at the beginning of his loan spell, though usually as substitute, but made only one brief first-team appearance after Paul Ince took over as manager at the end of October.

2011–12 season In the absence through injury of strikers Cameron Jerome, Marlon King and Nikola Žigić, Jervis was named in the 20-man squad for Birmingham's Europa League match against Nacional in Madeira in August. An unused substitute in the first leg, he made a brief appearance in the second leg, replacing Chris Wood in the 89th minute as Birmingham won 3–0 to qualify for the group stage.

On 29 September, Jervis joined Swindon Town of League Two on loan for a month. He made his debut the following day, replacing Mehdi Kerrouche after an hour as Swindon lost 2–0 away at Macclesfield Town. Jervis scored two goals, one from close range and the second after dispossessing goalkeeper Artur Krysiak – a former teammate at Birmingham – as Swindon beat Exeter City 2–1 to progress to the area quarter-finals of the Football League Trophy. The loan was extended until 30 December, and Jervis returned to Birmingham having made 14 appearances and scored 5 goals in all competitions. He went straight into the starting eleven for their match the following day, and scored the opening goal as Preston drew 1–1 away to Rochdale. He returned to Birmingham at the end of the month having scored twice from five appearances.

Jervis was a 71st-minute substitute, replacing Adam Rooney, as Birmingham drew 1–1 away to Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup. He signed a one-year contract extension at the end of the season.

2012–13 season On 22 August, Jervis joined Carlisle United of League One on loan for a month. He made his debut three days later and scored as Carlisle beat Portsmouth 4–2. He missed his penalty in the shootout against Preston North End as Carlisle were eliminated from the Football League Trophy, and the next weekend he missed an open goal against Hartlepool United, although Carlisle still won the match. Two first-half goals against Swindon Town meant he returned to Birmingham having scored three times in five league matches. League One leaders Tranmere Rovers signed Jervis on loan in time for him to make another goal-scoring debut as his new club lost 3–1 at AFC Bournemouth on 20 October. He damaged an ankle during the match, so missed two weeks of his loan spell, making four more appearances without scoring. Within days of his return to Birmingham, he moved to another League One club, Portsmouth, on a one-month loan. He scored once in three appearances before the loan was extended until 4 January 2013, but two days later he was recalled after injuries to Marlon King and Peter Løvenkrands left Birmingham with Nikola Žigić as their only fit senior striker. He made his first league appearance for Birmingham on 29 December, replacing Callum Reilly shortly after Bolton Wanderers took a 3–1 lead.

He signed a three-and-a-half-year contract. Included in the starting eleven for the away match against Fenerbahçe on 20 January, Jervis opened the scoring with an 11th-minute header; the match finished 2–2, as Fenerbahçe equalised in the third minute of stoppage time. After three matches he broke his foot, played only one more league match,

Portsmouth He trained with Sheffield United, Coventry City, and with his former club Portsmouth. They and Sheffield United wanted to sign him, but his age meant that any new club would be liable for training and development compensation unless this were waived by his previous club. a FIFA investigation concluded he had still been registered with that club when the transfer window closed, so could not sign for another until the next window opened in January 2014. On 9 January, he signed for Portsmouth until the end of the season.

Ross County On 7 June 2014, Jervis signed for Scottish Premiership club Ross County. He scored on his debut against St Johnstone in a 2–1 defeat, and finished the season with four goals from 27 league matches. He scored his first goal for Plymouth in a 4–1 win over Carlisle United on 18 August 2015.

He joined Luton's League One rivals AFC Wimbledon on 31 August 2018 on a season-long loan. Jervis was loaned out again on 2 September 2019, joining League Two club Salford City until the end of the 2019–20 season.
