Goalkeeper born in 2005 Jack Robinson, son of former England number one Paul Robinson, has signed a professional contract with Championship team Burnley, thus following in the footsteps of his father who played in the past for the Clarets.
Robinson, who previously played for Bradford City's youth system, has signed a one-year contract and will be part of Burnley's Under-21 squad next season.
"It's a great opportunity and I'm really excited. It's a very proud moment for me and my family, and all the hard work we've done over the last few years is starting to pay off. There are great opportunities for development here, because if you don't play you can also go out on loan. I already had a trial here last season, which went well, and now I hope to settle in as soon as possible," Robinson told Burnley's official website.
Although the young goalkeeper follows in his father's footsteps, it is also important for him to carve out his own identity in the world of football. In fact, Burnley's official statement regarding his signing doesn't mention Paul Robinson at all.
Jack began his football career at Leeds United's academy, before moving to Hull City. In 2021 he moved to Bradford City, where he played with the Under 17 and Under 19 teams. Last season he was a fundamental player for Bradford's Under 19 team, with which they reached the third round of the FA Youth Cup, a cup reserved for youth teams, but were eliminated by Crystal Palace.
Now the doors of a football that counts are opening for Jack Robinson; in fact, in addition to training with the Burnley Under 21 goalkeepers, he will also have the opportunity to take the field with the first team if necessary.
Chris Casper, Burnley's youth manager, said: "Jack deserved this contract thanks to his work last season. He has the right qualities to play for our club. If he can settle in well and work hard with his coaches, I'm sure he will continue to improve."
In short, it's just the beginning for Jack Robinson, and it will be interesting to see how his career develops.
What happens now
With a one-year contract signed, Jack Robinson will join Burnley's Under-21 squad for next season. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to his new surroundings and whether he will have the opportunity to play on loan to gain experience. His growth will be monitored closely, given the potential link to the Robinson family's football tradition.
