Gills snap up midfielder Robinson

Gillingham have completed the signing of former Wales international John Robinson from Cardiff City.

The 33-year-old midfielder, who won 30 caps for Wales, could make his debut on Sunday against Sheffield United.

Robinson spent 11 years with Charlton after signing for £75,000 in 1992, and made more than 300 appearances for the Addicks scoring 44 goals.

Gillingham's fellow Championship strugglers Cardiff signed Robinson in July 2003 on a free transfer.

"John was a massive influence for us last year after coming here from a Premiership club," said Cardiff manager Lennie Lawrence.

"This year he has been less so because domestic difficulties have overtaken the situation.

"We felt it was in the best interests of him and the club if he was allowed to move to a team he could get to easily from his home."
