Quinton Norman Jacobs (born 21 January 1979 in Windhoek) is a Namibian football midfielder who last played for Black Africa Windhoek.
Career[]
Jacobs began his football career with Black Africa in his native Namibia, playing for them from 1997 to 1999. In late 1998, he spent a trial period with Manchester United, playing in a friendly for the club's reserve team against a Major League Soccer Under-21s side.
After leaving Black Africa in 1999, he had a brief spell with Partick Thistle in the Scottish Division Two, after turning down offers from Ajax and Werder Bremen.[1][2] He once scored directly from a corner kick in a match against Ross County at Firhill stadium.
He left Partick in 2000 and spent a year with German side Duisburg, but did not make a single appearance before joining South African side Black Leopards in 2001. In 2003, he moved back to Namibia to play for Civics Windhoek. He spent a year there and another year with Ramblers before returning to South Africa to play for Ajax Cape Town in 2005. In 2006, Jacobs got another chance in European football, joining Norway's Bryne, but after just one goal in 15 appearances, he rejoined Ramblers.
In 2009, he placed for African Stars F.C. in Namibia and joined Palestinian club Jabal Al Mukaber early in 2010.[3]
United Sikkim[]
He played for the United Sikkim F.C. in the 2012 I-League 2nd Division. On 15 March 2012 he scored a brace which helped his side win 3–2 against Kalighat Milan Sangha F.C. in Siliguri.[4] He had scored 16 goals in 23 matches in the 2nd Division for the Gangtok-based club helping his side win promotion to the 2012-13 I-League.
Salgaocar[]
On 6 May 2012 Jacobs signed with former Indian I-League champions Salgaocar.[5]
Mohun Bagan[]
In January 2013, the century-old Kolkata-based club Mohun Bagan A.C. signed this Namibian midfielder as a replacement to the underperforming Stanley Okoroigwe.[6] On 28th Match, he scored his first I-League goal for the club against Pailan Arrows in a 2–0 win at Kalyani. He also won the Man of the Match for the effort.[7]
International career[]
He is a member of the Namibia national football team.[8]
