Robinson Wanted

19th December 2005


Worksop Town are currently in negotiations with Lincoln City over extending midfielder Steve Robinson's loan at Worksop for a third month.

Robinson's current loan deal ends after Worksop's match against Gainsborough Trinity on January 2nd. The Imps' midfielder has proved a popular and influential signing during his one and half months at Worksop.

However, much thought is likely to be put into the decision, as other factors exists making the renewal of Robinson's loan deal less certain then his previous second month renewal.

In January, the transfer window opens for the entire month only. Hence, if Robinson renews his loan deal at Worksop, he would then be forced to return to Lincoln in early February. Although Robinson was dropped from the Lincoln City first team after only one game - a 2-0 victory against Stockport, in which he played very well - Imps' boss Keith Alexander maintains that Robinson has a future at Lincoln.

If still true, then Robinson could return in February to fight for a first team place. More likely though, is Robinson's departure either during January or in May 2006 when his one-year contract expires.

If his loan deal is extended at Worksop, and if Robinson has no future at Lincoln, then he would then be forced to play reserve team football at Lincoln until May, unless another club made a loan bid for him.
