Jacob Shaffelburg

Jacob Shaffelburg is a left-sided attacker who has built his reputation through relentless energy and direct running rather than elaborate technique. After coming through Toronto FC and establishing himself at Nashville SC, he joined LAFC ahead of the 2026 season. For Canada, he offers a high-pressing, wide option who can stretch defenses and contribute defensively — qualities that fit well in a system demanding hard work from its attacking players. He is not the most decorated name in the squad, but his consistency and work rate have made him a reliable presence in the program, particularly in the CONCACAF qualifying environment where physicality and intensity matter.
