Club career

Norwich City

Born in Fakenham, Norfolk, Jarvis became Norwich City's youngest ever first-team player with a substitute appearance in a 0–0 draw away to Walsall on 19 April 2003 in the First Division, aged just 16 years and 282 days. ^[3] He also became the club's youngest goalscorer the following season with an 88th-minute goal in a 2–1 home defeat by Watford on 15 November 2003. ^{[3] [4]} Jarvis ended the 2003–04 season with a First Division championship medal as Norwich won promotion to the Premier League. ^[5]

Jarvis scored his first Premier League goal against Liverpool during a 2–1 defeat on 3 January 2005 with a 20-yard shot. ^[6] He spent the latter part of that season on loan at Colchester United from March–May 2005.^{[ citation needed ]} He played six matches for them without scoring. ^[7]

His 2005–06 season was wrecked by injuries limiting him to a solitary goal against Luton Town,^{[ citation needed ]} however in April 2006 he signed a new two-year contract with Norwich. ^[8] His brother Rossi was also on Norwich's books at this time, and the two brothers played together in the same Norwich team on 19 September 2006 in a League Cup match against Rotherham United, in which Ryan scored twice.^{[ citation needed ]}

On 15 February 2007, Jarvis joined League One club Leyton Orient on a one-month loan, to replace Paul Connor who was sold in the January transfer window. ^[9] He scored a hat-trick in the 5–2 away win over Millwall on 20 February 2007, and then two more in a 3–1 home win against Tranmere Rovers four days later. ^[10] In March 2007, the loan with Orient was extended to the end of 2006–07, ^[11] which he completed with 6 goals from 14 appearances. ^[10]

On 24 August 2007, Jarvis went on loan to Kilmarnock of the Scottish Premier League until January 2008. ^[12] He scored once in a 2–1 away win over Gretna on 15 September 2007, ^[13] with a 12-yard shot into the bottom corner. ^[14] On 31 January 2008, he began a loan spell at League Two club Notts County until the end of 2007–08. ^[15]

Leyton Orient

At the end of 2007–08, Norwich decided not to renew Jarvis' contract, and he signed for Leyton Orient on 25 June 2008 on a two-year contract. ^[16] In the 2008–09 season, he featured in 31 league matches without scoring, his only goals coming in the Football League Trophy. ^[17] Three matches into 2009–10, Jarvis finally scored his first league goal for the club, with their only goal in a 2–1 defeat against Oldham Athletic.^{[ citation needed ]} One week later he scored the last goal in a 3–3 draw against Yeovil.^{[ citation needed ]} After two goals in his first five matches of the new season, Jarvis did not score again until the 3–1 defeat of Gillingham in early December.^{[ citation needed ]} Goals against Walsall, Carlisle United, Bristol Rovers and Stockport County followed.^{[ citation needed ]} He helped seal Orient's status in League One for another season with a 78th-minute goal in a 2–0 homewin over Wycombe Wanderers on 1 May 2010, relegating Wycombe to League Two. ^[18]

On 26 November 2010, Jarvis signed on loan for Northampton Town until 5 January 2011. ^[19] After returning to Orient, he spent much of the time playing in the reserves or on the first team bench,^{[ citation needed ]} but after coming on as a substitute for Harry Kane in a home match against Peterborough United, he scored the winner in stoppage time to keep Orient's play-off hopes alive. ^[20] Following 2010–11, Jarvis was released by Orient. ^[21]

Walsall

Jarvis signed for League One club Walsall on 30 June 2011 on a one-year contract. ^[22] He scored both his first and second goals for Walsall in a 2–0 victory over AFC Bournemouth on 27 August 2011. ^[23] Jarvis joined League Two club Torquay United on loan until the end of 2011–12 on 1 March 2012. ^[24] He played in the League Two play-offs for Torquay before being released by Walsall. ^[25]

Further success followed swiftly as Lynn won the National League North title at the first attempt, thus achieving promotion to the National League, where Jarvis played for one season (2020–21).

Jarvis returned to Lowestoft Town for the 2021–22 season, but following the Trawlerboys' relegation from the Southern Football League Premier Division he moved on to Leiston in the summer of 2022. ^[36]
