Jake David Robinson (born 23 October 1986 in Brighton) is an English footballer who currently plays for Whitehawk. Robinson plays either as a winger or striker.

Career

A product of Brighton & Hove Albion's youth system, he made his debut in September 2003 against Middlesbrough, in a League Cup Second Round tie at the Riverside Stadium, and became Brighton's youngest-ever scorer (aged 16) three weeks later in a cup match against Forest Green Rovers.[1]

On 28 October 2006, Robinson scored his first hat-trick for Brighton in a League One game against Huddersfield Town,[2] the first hat-trick by a Brighton player in nearly five years.[2] He scored a second hat-trick in the FA Cup game against Northwich Victoria on 11 November 2006.[3]

After finding first-team opportunities difficult at Brighton, Robinson re-joined Aldershot Town on loan for a second loan spell until the end of the season during February 2009.[4]

Robinson scored on his second debut for Aldershot Town during the 3–2 defeat against Exeter City on 14 February 2009,[5] and made 19 appearances in total, scoring just four goals.

It was announced on 12 May 2009, that Robinson would be leaving Brighton after the expiration of his contract at the end of June 2009.[6]

In June 2009, Robinson agreed to join League Two side Shrewsbury Town on a two-year contract.[7] Robinson made an excellent start to the 2010–11 season, scoring the third hat-trick of his career as Shrewsbury beat Bradford City 3–1 on the opening day.[8]

On 31 January 2011, Robinson joined Torquay for the remainder of the season in a deal that could potentially see gulls player Nicky Wroe moving in the opposite direction. He made his debut for the club the day later against Hereford United, scoring within the first 10 minutes of the match. On 2 February it was revealed, however, that the player had not been registered and thus ineligible to play.

Due to an oversight in the loan deal it was revealed that Robinson was eligible to play for Torquay against his parent club Shrewsbury. This proved costly as later on in the season Robinson scored twice for Torquay in their 5–0 drumming of Shrewsbury. Robinson then went on to play for Torquay in both legs of the League 2 Play-off semi-final, which by coincidence was against Shrewsbury Town. Once again Robinson proved to be a valuable asset to Torquay as they won the first leg 2–0 and drew the second leg 0–0, meaning Torquay were through and Shrewsbury were out.

After 2 years of playing for Northampton Town in League 2, helping them to the League 2 play off final at Wembley, Robinson decided to head back to Brighton to play for Whitehawk FC. Scoring regularly and helping the team in to the promotion places, many teams enquired about the striker in the English January transfer window. With Whitehawk tasting unexpected promotion, they decided to wave off offers for the in form striker.

In May 2015, Robinson was named the Fan's Player of the Year at Whitehawk after a run which saw him net 17 goals in the regular Conference South season.
