Educated at Redruth School and Truro College, Robin is a former Redruth player who signed for Plymouth Albion in 2015.
He was a County Championship winner with Cornwall in both 2015 and 2016 and was also the recipient of Trelawny’s ‘Player of the Year’ trophy for 2017. Other honours include playing for England Counties, whilst he has also represented Exeter Chiefs in the Singha Sevens.
Robin suffered a serious knee injury when playing for Plymouth Albion in a pre-season friendly against the Cornish Pirates in 2017. It was a set-back for the gifted young player, however he recovered well and was keen to take his chance of playing Championship rugby, which he did. Indeed, as a strong, rangy, and physical winger, with pace an extra bonus, in five seasons to the end of 2022/23 he featured in 90 games and scored a total of 39 tries for the club ahead of then signing for Jersey Reds.
Having made two appearances for the Islanders prior to the Jersey club suddenly ceasing trading in September 2023, Robin initially signed and played for Plymouth Albion before then making a welcome return to the Pirates at the start of December.
Of interest, Robin has a Flemish father – so, is half Cornish and half Belgian!
