Place of birthExeter
NationalityEnglish
Weight73 kg
Height1.80 m
PositionDefender/Left back

Robinson was first choice at left back for Reading in 2000-01, only missing games through injury of suspension.

Although he suffered a fractured rib in the home defeat by Millwall, he soon returned to the line-up within a few weeks.

A solid but unspectacular defender, he is comfortable on the ball and makes effective surges down the left flank in support of the attack.

Robinson signed a new two-year contract at Oxford United in May 2004.
