After signing her new deal with Durham, the player said “There was no other option really, I never thought about moving away from Durham.
“The last five years have been amazing and this is an opportunity that I’d never give up.
“Since we’ve been little girls, all we’ve ever wanted to do is be full-time footballers – and we’re so happy that our club that we love is offering that.”
As part of Robson’s new deal with Durham, the player will also take up a coaching role within the club’s new Barclays WSL Academy team. Robson is a UEFA B Licence holder.
