Josh Robinson has joined Aldershot as he attempts to kickstart his career

Former Wigan Athletic defender Josh Robinson has joined National League outfit Aldershot Town Football Club on a permanent deal.

The 21-year-old made his debut for the club in their National League Cup outing against Ipswich Town Under-21s.

Manager Scott Davies said: “Josh joins us having been with Arsenal for a long period of time and most recently Wigan Athletic.

"He’s been training with us for a few weeks now and has really impressed myself and the staff.

"With Michee Efete carrying a small knock and Eli Oladunjoye on loan, it made sense to bring Josh into the group as another option in that right back position.

"He’s a great fit for us and I’m sure he will be a positive addition to the group.”

Robinson was released by Latics in the summer of 2025, having failed to make a single appearance following his arrival from Arsenal in January of that year.

He'd previously spent almost a decade at Arsenal, making more than 65 appearances at Under-18 and Under-21 level.

Robinson had a short spell at Kidderminster Harriers last season but had since been without a club.
