[edit] Club career

Jacobsen is currently an amateur player who as of 2007 works as a carpenter, but played at Semi-professional level for Icelandic team KR Reykjavík and Danish side SønderjyskE.

In August 2007 he went on a trial to Carlisle United. The trial didn't end up with a permanent contract so he continued playing with HB. 2008, he signed a professional contract with the Norwegian side IL Hødd who currently plays in Adeccoligaen.

[edit] International career

Jacobsen made his debut for Faroe Islands in an August 1999 friendly match against Iceland. He is known for having scored the only Faroese goal in the 1-2 home loss to the World Champions Italy. On 21 November 2007, he scored his 10th goal for the Faroese national team, hence breaking Todi Jónsson's record.
