Katie Robinson (born 8 August 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for Women's Super League club Brighton & Hove Albion and the England national team.

Club career

Youth

Robinson grew up in Newquay, where she had to play for Newquary Boys and Goldphin Boys from age 10 to 16 due to lack of girls' football facilities.[2] She trained at Cornwall Girls Advanced Coaching Centre from age 10 to 12, Devon Advanced Coaching Centre from age 13 to 16, and Plymouth Argyle Boys' Centre of Excellence at age 15 before moving to Bristol to start her career there.[3]

Bristol City

Robinson came through the ranks at the Bristol City academy. She made her senior debut for Bristol City on 14 October 2018 as an 83rd-minute substitute for Juliette Kemppi in a 1–0 loss to Birmingham City in the WSL.[4][5] Robinson scored her first senior career goal on 5 December 2018 during a 5–2 victory over second-tier side Aston Villa in the League Cup.[6] After two seasons, Robinson declined a contract extension with Bristol and departed at the end of the 2019–20 season.[7][8]

Brighton & Hove Albion

On 13 July 2020, Robinson joined Brighton & Hove Albion, signing her first professional contract in the process.[9] In September 2020, Robinson sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during training. This meant that she missed the rest of the 2020–21 season.[10] She went on loan to Charlton Athletic during her recovery.[2] In the 2022–23 season for Brighton, she contributed four goals and six assists.[11]

International career

Youth career

Senior career

Robinson received her first call-up to the England senior squad in November 2022 for fixtures against Japan and Norway.[14] She made her debut as an 83rd-minute substitute for Nikita Parris in a friendly against Norway on 15 November 2022.[15][16] On 18 November 2022, her England legacy number was announced as number 227.[17]

Robinson was named in the England squad in February 2023 for the Arnold Clark Cup.[18] On 31 May 2023 Robinson was named in the 23-player England squad for the 2023 FIFA World Cup.[19][20] She was the youngest player in the squad at age 20.[21]
