[edit] Career

[edit] Club

Robinson began his career as a trainee with Hartlepool United, turning professional in August 1998. He made his league debut on 12 August 2000 in a 2–0 win away to Lincoln City and went on to make almost 100 first team appearances. He lost his place in the 2003–04 season, joining Spennymoor United on loan[1] and in February 2004 joined Conference National side Scarborough on a month's loan.[2]

He was released by Hartlepool United at the end of the 2003–04 season.[3] He joined Hereford United in August 2004 on a short-term contract,[4] which was extended until the end of the season in September 2004.[5] Later that month he joined Stockport County,[6] and appeared in all of the club's 51 league & cup matches during the 2005–06 season.[7][8]

On 25 January 2007 he joined Torquay United on a free transfer until the end of the season,[9] 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. He remained a regular until the end of the season as Torquay were relegated to the Conference National. In May 2007 his contract was not renewed, although he was invited back to the club for pre-season training.[10]

He joined York City on a free transfer on 18 June 2007.[11] He suffered a broken leg in December 2007, which ruled him out for three months.[12] He returned to training in January 2008, and was expected to return in February.[13] He made his return in a reserve game against Scunthorpe United during this month.[14] York manager Colin Walker exercised his option for Robinson's contract to be extended for the 2008–09 season in April.[15]
