promotion to the Premier League as league champions. Bolton Wanderers On 12 July 2009, Robinson completed a season-long loan move to Bolton Wanderers, where he was reunited with his former manager Gary Megson. The player explained that he had joined Bolton on a three-year contract, the first year being on loan and the deal to become permanent in the summer of 2010 when Bolton would pay West Brom a fee of £1 million. He made his debut in a 1–0 loss to Sunderland on 15 August. The deal was made permanent in January 2010. He made 25 league appearances in the first season, and 35 in the following season, but fell out of favour in the 2011–12 Premier League season, only making 20 appearances in total for the club. Leeds United (loan) On 6 March 2012, Robinson joined Leeds United on a month's loan. He was an unused substitute for their away game at Hull City the same day, and made his debut in their 2–0 win at Middlesbrough on 11 March. Robinson's loan was extended to the end of the season. He was omitted from the last game of Leeds' season, because manager Neil Warnock was unwilling to risk his suffering injury in a "nothing" game as they were unlikely to sign him permanently. He returned to Bolton and was available for their last few matches, but was released when his contract expired at the end of the season, along with 11 other players, following the club's relegation from the Premier League. Birmingham City After training with MLS side Toronto FC and then with Championship club Birmingham City, Robinson signed a one-month contract with the latter in September 2012 after injuries had left the club with only two fit senior defenders. He made his debut in the starting eleven in a 1–0 away win against Brighton & Hove Albion on 29 September. After four appearances, and with the team still weakened in defence by injury, he was given a second month's contract, and then a further two months after left-back David Murphy suffered knee damage. When that deal expired, and despite the club's financial difficulties, his contract was extended until the end of the season. He finished the season playing at centre-half alongside Curtis Davies, having stood in for the injured Steven Caldwell and retained his place after Caldwell's return to fitness, and made 37 appearances in all competitions.
