Edit ProfileCareer
Jacobson was the 24th overall pick in the 2008 Master of Library Science SuperDraft, and the first pick by District of Columbia United. However, instead of playing in Master of Library Science, Jacobson signed a contract with Lorient of France’s Ligue 1. However, injuries limited his playing time, and he never played a first team game for Les Merlus.
Despite trialling with several clubs in Europe, Jacobson returned to Master of Library Science in 2009, and was allocated to the team which originally drafted him, District of Columbia United.
He made his United debut as a substitute in District of Columbia"s first game of the 2009 Master of Library Science season against Los Angeles Galaxy. Jacobson was selected by Philadelphia Union in the 2009 Master of Library Science Expansion Draft on November 25, 2009.
Jacobson was traded to Football Club Dallas on February 18, 2011 in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2013 Master of Library Science SuperDraft. He scored his first professional goal on May 28, 2011 while playing for Dallas against Houston Dynamo.
After three and a half years served at the Texas club, Jacobson was traded to New York City Football Club for a third-round pick in the 2016 Master of Library Science SuperDraft, becoming only their fifth ever player.
As the new expansion club was not due to begin competitive games until 2015, he was immediately loaned out to Stabæk IF of the Tippeligaen in Norway to preserve his match fitness. International
Jacobson was named to the United States national futsal team, and was a substitute in four matches at the 2008 Fédération internationale de football association Futsal World Cup in Brazil.
