Stephen "Steve" Robinson (born 10 December 1974) is a football player and coach, who is currently the manager of Oldham Athletic. During his career he played for Tottenham Hotspur, Leyton Orient, Bournemouth, Preston North End, Bristol City, Luton Town and Northern Ireland.
Playing career
Born in Lisburn, Robinson began his career with the Tottenham Hotspur youth system as a trainee, signing a professional contract in January 1994.[1] He joined Bournemouth due to the lack of first team opportunities at Tottenham. After a highly successful time at Bournemouth, Robinson joined Preston North End in 2000. After failing to force himself into Preston's starting XI, he joined Bristol City on loan until the end of the 2001–02 season.
After this he joined Luton Town for a fee of £50,000 in 2002. He was forced to play on the right-wing by then manager Joe Kinnear, despite his position being an attacking centre-midfielder in his Bournemouth days. New manager Mike Newell soon reverted Robinson to his favoured central-midfield role, and he was rewarded with a League One championship in 2005, and a tenth-place finish in the Championship in 2006. During the 2006–07 season, Robinson captained the side in Chris Coyne's absence and was handed a new two-year contract by Hatters boss Mike Newell. On 26 July 2008 Robinson agreed to a mutual termination of his contract at Luton.
International
Robinson was capped internationally by Northern Ireland on seven occasions from 1997 to 2007.[2] He also played for the under-16 (one cap), under-18 (two caps, one goal), under-21 (one cap) and B (four caps, one goal) teams.[3]
Coaching career
Robinson joined Motherwell in February 2015, to assist manager Ian Baraclough.[4] He also assisted the Northern Ireland national team, working with Michael O'Neill, that qualified for UEFA Euro 2016.[5] Robinson was previously manager of the under-age Northern Ireland squads, working for the Irish Football Association.
Robinson was appointed manager of Oldham Athletic in July 2016.[5]
