Jacob Alexander Mellis (born 8 January 1991) is a professional English footballer who plays as a midfielder for League Two club Mansfield Town.
Mellis was born in Nottingham and started his career as a trainee with Sheffield United, before joining Premier League club Chelsea for £1 million in June 2007. He was a member of the Chelsea team that reached the final of the FA Youth Cup under manager Paul Clement in 2008, but was sent-off in the 90th minute of the second leg, as Chelsea lost 4–2 on aggregate to Manchester City. In the 2008–09 season, he became a regular in Chelsea's reserves making 13 appearances with three goals.
In August 2009, he joined Southampton on loan and made his Saints debut a day after signing, as a substitute in a 3–1 defeat at Huddersfield Town. He returned to Chelsea in January 2010 but did not make a senior appearance until November that year, in what would be his only Chelsea first team game, coming on in added time as a substitute against MŠK Žilina in the UEFA Champions League.
The following January Mellis signed for Barnsley on a five-month loan. Mellis made his Barnsley debut the next day, in a 2–0 win over Preston North End. He scored his first Barnsley goal in a next game on 5 February 2011 in a 4–1 defeat to Leicester City, which he scored in the next game seven days later against Ipswich Town. Mellis went on to make fifteen appearance and scoring two times.
