Jago was first included in a Tranmere matchday squad on 10 January 2015, remaining an unused substitute for their goalless League Two draw away to Morecambe at the Globe Arena.[1] After two further games remaining on the bench, he made his professional debut at Prenton Park on 21 March, replacing Marc Laird for the final 13 minutes of a 1–4 home defeat against Burton Albion.[2] His second game was against Bury on 2 May, Tranmere's final match of a 94-year tenure in The Football League. He came on in the final minute for Iain Hume in the 0–1 home defeat.[3]

On 19 June Jago along with three other youth system products signed his first professional one-year contract.[4]

On 3 August Jago joined Northern Premier League side Hyde United on loan until 31 December.[5]

On 30 January 2016, Jago scored on his debut for Annan Athletic in Scottish League Two, replacing Ryan McStay in the 65th minute and heading the final goal of a 4–2 win over Elgin City at the Galabank.[6] On his first start two weeks later, he received a straight red card at the end of a 3–3 draw against Montrose for fouling Ross Campbell.[7] Jago was released by Tranmere Rovers on 3 May 2016. He scored on trial for Southport in a friendly draw against Bury in July.[8]

In August 2016, Jago joined Welsh Premier League side Llandudno.[9] After not getting a first-team place, he left for Skelmersdale United of the Northern Premier League before returning in December.[10]
