[edit] Club career

Born in Guisborough, North Yorkshire,[2] Robinson began his career with Middlesbrough's centre of excellence at the age of 14 and he joined Nottingham Forest on schoolboy forms.[3] He signed for Hartlepool United on a Youth Training Scheme,[3] before turning professional on 2 July 1999.[2] He made his first team debut on 12 August 2000 in a 2–0 win away to Lincoln City and went on to make almost 100 appearances. He lost his place in the 2003–04 season, joining Spennymoor United on loan[4] and in February 2004 joined Conference National side Scarborough on a one-month loan.[5]

He was released by Hartlepool United at the end of the 2003–04 season.[6] He joined Hereford United in August 2004 on a short-term contract,[7] which was extended until the end of the season in September 2004.[8] Later that month he joined Stockport County,[9] and appeared in all of the club's 51 league & cup matches during the 2005–06 season.[10][11]

Robinson playing for York City in 2008

On 25 January 2007 he joined Torquay United on a free transfer on a contract until the end of the season,[12] making his debut in the 4–1 win at home to Grimsby Town on 26 January 2007, Torquay's first win in 20 league games.[13] He remained a regular until the end of the season as Torquay were relegated to the Conference National.[14] In May 2007 his contract was not renewed, although he was invited back to the club for pre-season training.[15]

He joined Conference team York City on a free transfer on 18 June 2007.[16] He suffered a broken leg in December, which ruled him out for three months.[17] He returned to training in January 2008, and was expected to return to the side in February.[18] He made his return in a reserve team game against Scunthorpe United during this month.[19] York manager Colin Walker exercised his option for Robinson's contract to be extended for the 2008–09 season in April.[20] During York's 2–0 victory against Rushden & Diamonds in October, Robinson played as a winger and scored the team's first goal.[21] He was released by York following the end of the 2008–09 season,[22] during which he made 47 appearances and scored two goals.[23]

Robinson signed for newly-promoted Conference side Gateshead on a one-year contract on 23 June 2009.[24] On 13 March 2010, Robinson joined Conference North team Gainsborough Trinity until the end of the 2009–10 season after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.[25] He joined Northern Premier League Premier Division team Whitby Town in the summer of 2010 following a trial.[26][27] Robinson re-signed for Gainsborough on 30 September.[28] He joined Conference North rivals Boston United on an initial-one month loan in February 2011, but after making three appearances he returned to Gainsborough in March after Boston opted not to extend the deal.[29][30][31]

[edit] International career

While with Hereford United, Robinson represented the England National Game XI team in the Four Nations Tournament in May 2005.[32] He was capped three times by the side, playing in matches against the Republic of Ireland, Wales and Scotland, and scored one goal.[33]
