Career

Born in Northampton Robins begun his career at Raunds St Peters before transferring to The Blades in 1910. He was a regular for the reserves whilst at Bramall Lane but failed to make the breakthrough into the first team, making only a handful of appearances.[1]

After being released by United he moved to Castleford Town, becoming player manager from 1911. With the outset of World War I and with Castleford dissolved for the duration he made a number of wartime guest appearances back at Sheffield United as well as appearing for Goole Town and Luton Town.[1]

Following the war he returned to the re-formed Castleford Town in 1919 where he played a further season as player manager before retiring from playing in 1920 to remain as manager until his death in 1924.[1]
