Robbie Foy (born October 28, 1985 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is a professional football player.
Foy came through the ranks at the Liverpool Academy and began training full-time at Melwood as he was a sensation during the 2003/2004 season. He made his senior debut as a substitute during the pre-season win over Wrexham in July 2004. He was also a substitute, albeit unused, for the first team during the Carling Cup win over Tottenham.
He is traditionally a winger and has the ability to play on the right wing as well up front but most see him at his best on the left.
Foy finished the 2004/2005 season at Chester City with a three-month loan spell, having been signed by Liverpool legend Ian Rush. This move allowed Foy to gain first-team experience, although he failed to find the net for the Blues.
In August 2005 Foy was again sent out on loan, this time for a five-month spell at Wrexham. He made 12 appearances for Liverpool reserves during the 2005-06 season, scoring 3 times. He was given a free transfer by Liverpool in May 2006 [1].
Foy undertook a trial with SPL side Dunfermline Athletic during July 2006, but failed to gain a contract due to financial circumstances. [2]
At the end of July Foy, a Scottish U21 internationalist, undertook a trial with Grimsby Town; he impressed during their final friendly match, but yet again, financial circumstances stopped negotiations. He signed for Scunthorpe United in August 2006, but was released by Scunthorpe United at the end of the 2006/2007 season by new manager Nigel Adkins after struggling to command a place in the side in their League One championship season.
