Rob Ullathorne
| Date of birth | 11 October 1971 |
| Place of birth | Wakefield |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 72 kg |
| Height | 1.73 m |
| Position | Defender |
After leaving Leicester City following an injury, he had trials at Huddersfield Town, Real Zaragoza, Tenerife and Newcastle United before joining Sheffield United.
Having finally recovered full fitness after suffering a badly broken leg back in March 1999, Rob joined Newcastle United on a non-contract basis in September 2000 following unsuccessful trials in Spain and after featuring regularly in their reserve team, he signed for Sheffield United towards the end of the year. Although sidelined by a hamstring injury after just two games he enjoyed a good run in the side after Wayne Quinn's departure before sustaining ankle and knee ligament damage in the Sheffield derby at Hillsborough.
An experienced left-sided defender, he made good use of his pace and anticipation, linking well with Peter Ndlovu down the wing.
Rob joined Northampton Town in February 2004 with a contract to the end of the season when he moved on to Notts County in a two-year deal.
