Aldershot bolster defence with Robinson signing

The 21-year-old right-back joins on a permanent deal after training with the club and will be available for Saturday's FA Cup tie at Barnsley.

Aldershot have signed former Arsenal academy defender Josh Robinson on a permanent contract. The 21-year-old right-back, who started against Ipswich Under-21s on Tuesday in the National League Cup, has been added to the squad in time for Saturday's FA Cup first round tie at Barnsley.

Robinson had spells with Wigan Athletic and Kidderminster Harriers after leaving Arsenal. Manager Scott Davies said: "He's been training with us for a few weeks now and has really impressed myself and the staff."
