He contributed greatly with a highly successful winter season for Tasmania but this was ruined when he suffered a cruciate ligament injury.

Jake was a highly popular player with Hucknall in the Notts Premier League between 2016 and 2019 scoring 2,023 runs before joining Worcester in 2019 where he has proved to be an outstanding success.
