Matthew Richard Robinson, born Exeter 23 December 1974, is a professional footballer who currently plays at full back for Salisbury City.

Having represented Dorset Schools, he joined Southampton as a trainee in July 1991, signing as a professional in 1993. His career at Southampton suffered from the rapid turnover of managers and in little over 4 years, he served under 5 different managers. He only made a handful of appearances at The Dell before joining Portsmouth for £50,000 in February 1998.

At Portsmouth his career also suffered from frequent managerial changes, but in his two years at Fratton Park, Robinson chalked up more than 75 games before moving to Reading in a £150,000 deal in January 2000.

Another 75 league and cup games followed before he headed to Oxford United in July 2002 on a free transfer.

A regular for Oxford, he amassed 192 games in just over four years.

Another free transfer took him to Forest Green Rovers in September 2006 where he made more than a dozen Conference appearances.

On 14 December 2006, he joined Salisbury City on a part-time basis and is now training to be a police officer[1].
