Zachary Scott Robinson (born 11 June 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker, most recently for Scottish Premiership club Motherwell. He came through the academy of AFC Wimbledon and made a number of first team appearances, as well as playing on loan for a number of lower league English sides before joining Scottish side Dundee on a season-long loan during which Robinson finished as the team's top league goalscorer and won the Scottish Championship. Robinson returned to Dundee, then in the Scottish Premiership, for another season-long loan before departing AFC Wimbledon.

Career

AFC Wimbledon

On 9 September 2019, whilst still a second year scholar at AFC Wimbledon, Robinson joined Basingstoke Town on loan.[3] On 13 November 2019, Robinson made his debut for the club in a 3–1 EFL Trophy loss against Southend United.[4] He scored his first goal for Wimbledon in an EFL Trophy tie against Brighton & Hove Albion U21s on 22 September 2020.[5] He made his league debut on 26 December 2020 in a 2–0 defeat to Oxford United, coming off of the bench to replace Ethan Chislett in the 87th minute of the match.[6]

On 12 April 2021, Robinson joined National League side Woking on loan until the end of the season,[7] making his debut the following day as he played the entirety of an incredible 4–3 defeat at home to Bromley.[8]

In August 2021, Robinson joined National League South side, Hemel Hempstead Town on a one-month loan and went onto net on his debut during a 4–2 defeat to Maidstone United, giving the Tudors an early lead in the 36th minute.[9]

On 8 January 2022, Robinson joined National League South side Hampton & Richmond Borough on a one-month loan deal.[10] He went onto feature ten times, scoring three goals before being recalled by Wimbledon in March 2022.

Loans to Dundee

On 30 July 2022, after signing a two-year contract extension with Wimbledon,[11] Robinson joined Scottish Championship club Dundee on a season-long loan.[12][13] He made his debut for Dundee on the same day against Partick Thistle.[14] On 12 August, Robinson scored his first goal for Dundee, in a home win over Arbroath.[15] After a very successful first half of the season with Dundee, scoring 8 goals in 19 appearances, Robinson was recalled early by Wimbledon in January 2023.[16]

On 31 January 2023, Robinson returned on loan to Dundee until the end of the season.[17] He marked his league return with the Dark Blues by scoring the opening goal in a 3–0 victory over Cove Rangers.[18] Upon his return he formed a successful striking partnership with Alex Jakubiak.[19] Robinson finished off his excellent loan spell with the Dark Blues in style, scoring his team-leading 12th league goal in a win over Queen's Park which clinched the Scottish Championship title for Dundee.[20]

On 30 June 2023, Robinson re-joined Dundee, now a Scottish Premiership side, on a season-long loan from Wimbledon.[21] He netted a brace against Dumbarton to open his scoring account in his second spell.[22] Robinson would score his first Premiership goal on 11 November in a 4–0 win against St Mirren.[23]

In April 2024, AFC Wimbledon confirmed that Robinson would leave the club upon the expiry of his contract.[24]

Motherwell

On 20 June 2024, Robinson joined Scottish Premiership club Motherwell on a two-year deal.[25] He made his competitive debut in a win over Edinburgh City in the Scottish League Cup group stage.[26] On 20 September, Robinson scored his first goal for the Steelmen in a Scottish League Cup quarter-final victory over Dundee United which saw Motherwell return to Hampden Park.[27] On 3 December, Motherwell confirmed that Robinson had ruptured his achilles tendon during a training session and would miss the remainder of the season as well as the full season after it.[28][29]

On 20 May 2026, Motherwell confirmed that Robinson would leave the club when his contract expired that summer.[30]
