Samuel Frederick Stanislaus Aspland-Robinson (born 3 January 1997)[1] is an English rugby union player. His usual positions are wing or centre. He represented England under-20s six times between 2016 and 2017. Aspland-Robinson is currently unattached, most recently playing for Coventry in the RFU Championship, on loan from Leicester Tigers in Premiership Rugby. He previously played for Harlequins.
Aspland-Robinson signed for Harlequins straight from school and initially went on loan to Worthing.[2] He played for England under-20s in the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship, including starting the final where England beat Ireland.[3]
Aspland-Robinson signed a new contract with Harlequins on 22 March 2017,[4] but then missed a year with an anterior cruciate ligament injury resulting in him joining Leicester Tigers in the summer of 2018.[5]
Aspland-Robinson made his Leicester debut on 12 January 2019 in a Champions Cup match against Scarlets in Llanelli.[6][7]
In March 2021, he was signed by Coventry on a deal which would see him remain dual registered with Leicester Tigers.[8] On 14 July 2021 it was announced Aspland-Robinson would remain with Coventry on a season-long loan for the 2021–22 RFU Championship season.[9]
On 1 July 2022, Aspland-Robinson was released by Leicester.[10]
