A wicket-keeper, Jackman made his first-class debut for South Island against North Island in 1934–35, making one catch and four stumpings.[1] The next season, playing in the Plunket Shield for Canterbury against Wellington, he set a New Zealand record when he made seven stumpings in the match, six of them off the leg-spin of Bill Merritt.[2][3] The record still stands.[4] Later in 1935-36 he was selected for two of the four matches New Zealand played against the touring MCC.[5]

Jackman was educated at Christ's College, Christchurch, and worked as an accountant.[6] He married Cecil Vivian Addison McConnell in Auckland in September 1937.[7]
