Player Profile – Jake Jervis

Jake Mario Jervis was born in 17 September 1991 in Wolverhampton

Jervis began his football career as a youngster with Wolves, moving on to Shrewsbury Town as a 12-year-old. After three years with Shrewsbury, Jervis joined Birmingham City's Academy. In 2008, he was a second-half substitute as a mixture of senior and reserve players won the 2008 Birmingham Senior Cup, and in 2009 he helped the academy team reach the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup.

Following three goals in three games for the reserves, Jervis made his first-team debut on 23 January 2010, coming on as a substitute for Christian Benítez in the FA Cup against Everton at Goodison Park. He played the last 11 minutes as Birmingham protected a 2–1 lead. He later described his debut as "the best experience I've had so far in football".

In March 2010, Jervis signed his first professional contract, of two-and-a-half years. The following week, Jervis joined League Two club Hereford United on a month's youth loan, to gain experience of first-team football. Despite signing too late to train with his new teammates before the League game against Bradford City on 20 March, he was included among the substitutes. He came into the game in the 70th minute, and scored the second goal of a 2–0 win. A week later he scored with a penalty kick in his second game, a 2–1 victory at Chesterfield, and returned to Birmingham at the end of his month's loan having started five games and appeared twice as a substitute.

Prior to the start of the 2010/11 season, Jervis joined Notts County, newly promoted to League One, on loan until January 2011. Jervis  made his Magpie’s debut in a 3-0 home defeat to Huddersfield on 7 August. He 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. In total Jervis made 10 appearances for the club. In January 2011, Jervis returned to Hereford United on a month's youth loan and made five further appearances but he returned after the loan was not extended.

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 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. In his next match on 4 October 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  2–1 to progress to the area quarter-finals of the Football League Trophy. His home debut was a 3-3 draw against Hereford on 8 October and scored his third goal for the club the following week with a 2-0 win at Accrington. The loan was extended until 30 December and Jervis scored two further goals for Swindon in a 2-0 victory over Aldershot on 26 November and in his final home match as the club beat Morecame 3-0 on 17 December. His final match for the club was a 1-0 defeat at Torquay on Boxing Day. Jervis returned to Birmingham having made 14 appearances and scored 5 goals in all competitions.

On 1 January 2012, Jervis joined Preston of League One on a 28-day youth loan. 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. Jervis scored on his home debut in his next match as PNE defeated Wycombe 3-2 on 14 January. He returned to Birmingham at the end of the month having scored twice from five appearances. His last match for the Lilywhites was a 2-1 defeat at Yeovil on 28 January.

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

On 22 August, Jervis joined Carlisle 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 former loan club Preston as Carlisle were eliminated from the Football League Trophy, and the next weekend missed an open goal against Hartlepool United, although Carlisle still won the match 2-1. On 15 September Jervis netted a first-half brace against another former loan club in Swindon meant he returned to Birmingham having scored three times in five league matches.

With their top scorer Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro out injured for three months, League One leaders Tranmere 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 month's 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.

Jervis joined Elazığspor, near the bottom of the Turkish Süper Lig, in January 2013 for a fee reported as €50,000. 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. He played four league matches in all, without scoring again, and his contract was cancelled in September 2013,[43] after the club had reportedly defaulted on his wages.]

He trained with Sheffield United, Coventry, and with his former club Portsmouth, who wanted to sign him, but offered him a contract, but the player's age meant any new club would be liable for training and development compensation unless this were waived by his previous club. In addition, a FIFA investigation concluded he had still been registered with Elazığspor when the transfer window closed, so was unable to sign for another club until the next window. On 9 January 2014, he signed for Portsmouth until the end of the season and scored a brace on his second appearance with a 2-2 draw at Morecambe on 25 January and in his second spell had scored 4 goals in 15 League appearances.

On 7 June for the start of the 2014/15 season Jervis had moved North to joined Scottish Premier League side Ross County.
