Hucknall Town Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Theo Robinson from Matlock Town, adding pedigree, composure, and defensive versatility to Tris Whitman’s squad at the RM Stadium.

The 21-year-old Nottingham-born defender arrives in NG15 after a spell with the Gladiators, joining them after making ten appearances for Ilkeston Town earlier in the campaign. Comfortable at both left-back and centre-back, Robinson brings a strong footballing education and valuable experience from higher up the pyramid.

Career Background

• Academy Roots: Developed through the youth ranks at Nottingham Forest, Robinson earned international recognition at youth level as a Wales U19 international.

• Senior Breakthrough: Following his time with the Reds and a spell with 1874 Northwich, he joined Notts County’s Under-21 setup, going on to make his senior first-team debut for the Magpies in the EFL Trophy.

• Non-League Experience: Alongside loan stints at Bracknell Town and Kettering Town, his recent spells at Ilkeston Town and Matlock Town have sharpened his competitive edge in the Northern Premier League.

The move also reunites Robinson with Yellows manager Tris Whitman, who worked alongside the defender during their time together at Ilkeston Town.

Subject to standard league registration formalities, Robinson goes straight into contention for Hucknall Town’s upcoming United Counties League Premier Division North fixture.
