Jake David Robinson (born 23 October 1986 in Brighton) is an English footballer who plays for Billericay Town. Robinson plays either as a winger or striker.
A product of Brighton & Hove Albion's youth system, he made his debut in September 2003 against Middlesbrough, in a League Cup Second Round tie at the Riverside Stadium, and became Brighton's youngest-ever scorer (aged 16) three weeks later in a cup match against Forest Green Rovers.
On 28 October 2006, Robinson scored his first hat-trick for Brighton in a League One game against Huddersfield Town, the first hat-trick by a Brighton player in nearly five years. He scored a second hat-trick in the FA Cup game against Northwich Victoria on 11 November 2006.
After finding first-team opportunities difficult at Brighton, Robinson re-joined Aldershot Town on loan for a second loan spell until the end of the season during February 2009.
Robinson scored on his second debut for Aldershot Town during the 3–2 defeat against Exeter City on 14 February 2009, and made 19 appearances in total, scoring just four goals.
It was announced on 12 May 2009, that Robinson would be leaving Brighton after the expiration of his contract at the end of June 2009.
In June 2009, Robinson agreed to join League Two side Shrewsbury Town on a two-year contract. Robinson made an excellent start to the 2010–11 season, scoring the third hat-trick of his career as Shrewsbury beat Bradford City 3–1 on the opening day.
