As a teenager, Jarvis grew up in Culverhouse Cross area of Cardiff and attended Ysgol Gymraeg Plasmawr.[2]
Born in Cardiff, Jarvis began his career with his home town side Cardiff City, joining their academy at an early age of 8. Alongside Ibrahim Farah he signed schoolboy forms at the start of the 2008–09 season.[3] Having finished as top scorer for the under-18 side during the 2009–10 season, he was named as a first team substitute in several matches at the start of the following year.
On 24 September 2010, Jarvis joined Football League Two side Southend United on a one-month loan deal after impressing in a reserve match,[4] making his professional debut as a substitute in place of Blair Sturrock during a 3–1 win over Hereford United.[5] He went on to make a total of seven appearances in all competitions before returning to Cardiff.
On 23 May 2011, Jarvis was offered his first professional contract by Cardiff City alongside Alex Evans and Ibrahim Farah.[6] Jarvis scored his first professional goal in his competitive debut against Oxford United on 10 August 2011 in the League Cup by a 20-yard lobbed header.[7]
On 9 September, Jarvis joined Conference National neighbours Newport County initially on a month-long loan.[8] He made his debut the following day against Mansfield Town which County lost 5–0.[9] Jarvis scored his first goal for Newport, against Barrow on 24 September.[10] In January 2012 Jarvis rejoined Newport County on loan until the end of the 2011–12 season. On 12 May 2012 he played for Newport in the FA Trophy Final at Wembley Stadium which Newport lost 2–0 to York City.[11]

On 31 January 2013, 21-year-old Jarvis joined Kidderminster Harriers from Championship Leaders Cardiff City until the end of the season.,[14] the Harriers failed to gain promotion despite being top for most of Jarvis' loan spell. Following his return to Cardiff, the club told him he would not be offered a new contract.[15]
He signed for Brackley Town following his departure from Cardiff.
In December 2013, he joined Bath City on a non-contract deal.[16]
