A wicketkeeper-batsman, Arno Jacobs scored consistently in South African domestic cricket and spent several years playing league cricket in England. In 2007 he was signed as Scotland's overseas professional but was signed by Leicestershire as a Kolpak player early in the season. His appearances were limited, he failed to make any real impression and was released at the end of the summer.
