Robert’s Biography
Robert is a goalkeeper who spent two and a half seasons with Tralee Dynamos, playing in their A Championship sides of 2009, 2010 and 2011.

In January 2013 he signed for Dave Hill at Cobh Ramblers, shortly after it had been confirmed that the Cork club would be returning to league football after four seasons in the wilderness. He made 16 league appearances, keeping two clean sheets, as Cobh finished seventh place in the 2013 First Division table. Robert re-signed for the 2014 season and added a further14 league appearances to his career tally before leaving the club at the end of that year. On 2nd of December 2014, Robert moved to Waterford United and made twelve appearances during the 2015 season.
