Turning up just before COVID hit, the widely-travelled Englishwoman had little choice but to stick around so decided to play soccer while she was here.

Finding a home-from-home at Birch Avenue, the former England junior international was top scorer in Launceston United's unbeaten Northern Championship-winning campaign and pivotal to the side's successful maiden Women's Super League season.

Among the scorers in Saturday's 3-1 win over Olympia which guaranteed a top-three finish, the 23-year-old said she will always have fond memories of her time in Tasmania.

"It's been a great 20 months in Tasmania meeting heaps of people and really getting to see the place," she said in her broad Yorkshire accent.

"I like all of Tasmania, the natural beauty of it all. It's so different to back home where we've got big cities and lots of crowded places compared to here where you can find an amazing beach with two other people on it and then an hour away there's something completely different to explore.

"The football has been good. Everyone here likes to play whereas back home that's not always the case. It's been really nice playing with a great group of girls for two seasons now and I'll have great memories of those two years.

"Last year we were undefeated all year and this year we took a step up and pushed a bit harder.

"It's been an up and down season with a bit of everything. We started strongly, middled out a bit when we had about six weeks in Hobart and hit a rocky patch when we lost five or six in a row but came out of that and finished really strongly."

Last in the UK back in January 2020, Robinson hails from Hull in the north-east, spent three years studying in Bristol in the south-west but has hopes of living in the north-west to be closer to her favourite team, Liverpool.

Robinson played in all 22 games this season, scoring six goals in the league and the same number in the cup, including the opener in the final against Warriors at KGV.

In the process, she established herself among the state's most influential players as an attacking midfielder in the Steven Gerrard mould.

Robinson was the only Northern player selected in the senior Tasmanian representative team to play Calder United ahead of an A-League fixture at UTAS Stadium in April - her first visit to an oval stadium.

"I'm hoping to get to the mainland and travel around Australia ... but it's all COVID dependent," she added.
