Career
Born in Guisborough, North Yorkshire, Robinson began his career with Middlesbrough"s centre of excellence at the age of 14 and he joined Nottingham Forest on schoolboy forms. He signed for Hartlepool United on a Youth Training Scheme, before turning professional on 2 July 1999. He lost his place in the 2003-2004 season, joining Spennymoor United on loan and in February 2004 joined Football Conference side Scarborough on a one-month loan.
He was released by Hartlepool United at the end of the 2003-2004 season.
He joined Hereford United in August 2004 on a short-term contract, which was extended until the end of the season in September 2004. Later that month he joined Stockport County, and appeared in all of the club"s 51 league & cup matches during the 2005-2006 season.
He remained a regular until the end of the season as Torquay were relegated to the Conference Premier. In May 2007 his contract was not renewed, although he was invited back to the club for pre-season training.
He joined Conference Premier team York City on a free transfer on 18 June 2007.
He suffered a broken leg in December, which ruled him out for three months. He returned to training in January 2008, and was expected to return to the side in February. He made his return in a reserve team game against Scunthorpe United during this month.
York manager Colin Walker exercised his option for Robinson"s contract to be extended for the 2008-2009 season in April.
During York"s 2–0 victory against Rushden & Diamonds in October, Robinson played as a winger and scored the team"s first goal. He was released by York following the end of the 2008-2009 season, during which he made 47 appearances and scored two goals.
Robinson signed for newly promoted Conference Premier side Gateshead on a one-year contract on 23 June 2009. On 13 March 2010, Robinson joined Conference North team Gainsborough Trinity until the end of the 2009-2010 season after his contract was cancelled by mutual consent.
He joined Northern Premier League Premier Division team Whitby Town in the summer of 2010 following a trial.
Robinson re-signed for Gainsborough on 30 September. He re-joined Whitby in August 2011, linking back up with ex-team-mate Darren Williams, who subsequently replaced Tommy Cassidy as Town manager. Robinson played every minute of every competitive game, helping "the Blues" dramatically escape relegation on the final day at Buxton.
While with Hereford United, Robinson represented the England National Game XI team in the Four Nations Tournament in May 2005.
He was capped three times by the side, playing in matches against the Republic of Ireland, Wales and Scotland, and scored one goal.
