Robinson, 23, joined the Scarlets in the summer of 2014, ahead of the 2014-15 campaign, from Cardiff Blues. He has appeared 30 times for the Scarlets scoring nine tries in his debut season claiming the region's top try scorer accolade!
A Wales Under 20s international and former member of Wales Sevens squad, Robinson was called into the Wales senior squad for the training camp in Poland in January 2012 ahead of the Six Nations Championship the same year. Robinson won three international caps scoring two tries; he scored his first international try in his debut match against Barbarians at the Millennium Stadium. His debut regional try came in his first competitive appearance against Ulster in September 2014. He played his last game for the Scarlets in December 2015 taking on Glasgow Warriors in the European Rugby Champions Cup at Scotstoun Stadium. Jon Daniels, Scarlets General Manager of Rugby said; "It is with great sadness that we as a region have to confirm Harry's retirement from rugby. He's a talented young player who had a bright rugby future ahead of him. "It has been a difficult time for Harry as he has worked exceptionally hard to make a full recovery. I am sure the qualities that got him to the top of the rugby tree in Wales will stand him in good stead in his future career. On behalf of the Board and everyone here at the Scarlets I would like to wish him the very best in the future." Edited by minded - 28 April 2016 at 12:13pm |

Real shame for him.
Wish him every success in whatever his future holds, met him at last year's sponsors dinner and was very impressed with him as an individual and how he represented the Scarlets. |

A real shame, a player who had a huge amount of potential and gave everything everytime he stepped onto the pitch.
All the best in the future, Harry, and thanks for being a Scarlet. |

Very sad to see any professional sportsman have to give up his career through injury, but at only 23 it must be incredibly tough. Always gave 100% and never held back in a tackle. All the best Harry.

Sad news -nice articulate young guy and for Harry a huge hit to take at only 23. It's very different at say 30 but he had years of rugby yet to play. Great shame for him.I wish all players had his level of commitment to the tackle for such a small guy. Brave player.

Sad news for both Harry and us. He may not have been the quickest but, he knew the way to the try line. Always gave 100%, something we desperately need after the last 2 Scarlet performances. Best of luck to him in the future. Thanks for your service.

Only one team plays in red. (Sorry, Scarlet)
