Zachary Scott Robinson (born 11 June 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Scottish Premiership club Motherwell. He came through the academy of AFC Wimbledon and made a number of first team appearances, as well as playing on loan for a number of lower league English sides before joining Scottish side Dundee on a season-long loan during which Robinson finished as the team's top league goalscorer and won the Scottish Championship. Robinson returned to Dundee, then in the Scottish Premiership, for another season-long loan before departing AFC Wimbledon.
On 9 September 2019, whilst still a second year scholar at AFC Wimbledon, Robinson joined Basingstoke Town on loan. [3] On 13 November 2019, Robinson made his debut for the club in a 3–1 EFL Trophy loss against Southend United.

On 12 April 2021, Robinson joined National League side Woking on loan until the end of the season, [7] making his debut the following day as he played the entirety of an incredible 4–3 defeat at home to Bromley. [8]
In August 2021, Robinson joined National League South side, Hemel Hempstead Town on a one-month loan and went onto net on his debut during a 4–2 defeat to Maidstone United, giving the Tudors an early lead in the 36th minute. [9]
On 8 January 2022, Robinson joined National League South side Hampton & Richmond Borough on a one-month loan deal. [10] He went onto feature ten times, scoring three goals before being recalled by Wimbledon in March 2022.
On 30 July 2022, after signing a two-year contract extension with Wimbledon, [11] Robinson joined Scottish Championship club Dundee on a season-long loan. [12] [13] He made his debut for Dundee on the same day against Partick Thistle. [14] On 12 August, Robinson scored his first goal for Dundee, in a home win over Arbroath. [15] After a very successful first half of the season with Dundee, scoring 8 goals in 19 appearances, Robinson was recalled early by Wimbledon in January 2023. [16]
On 31 January 2023, Robinson returned on loan to Dundee until the end of the season. [17] He marked his league return with the Dark Blues by scoring the opening goal in a 3–0 victory over Cove Rangers. [18] Upon his return he formed a successful striking partnership with Alex Jakubiak. [19] Robinson finished off his excellent loan spell with the Dark Blues in style, scoring his team-leading 12th league goal in a win over Queen's Park which clinched the Scottish Championship title for Dundee. [20]
On 30 June 2023, Robinson re-joined Dundee, now a Scottish Premiership side, on a season-long loan from Wimbledon. [21] He netted a brace against Dumbarton to open his scoring account in his second spell. [22] Robinson would score his first Premiership goal on 11 November in a 4–0 win against St Mirren. [23]
