Rob had a distinguished career with Croydon Athletic, spanning ten years, during which time he won justifiable acclaim as being one of the top goalkeepers in the league. Moved to Queen Street in the summer of 2005 after impressing the Horsham management team with a superb display against them the previous season. Ankle ligament damage received in September kept him out of action for four months but, once recovered, he was quick to reassume his first choice status, helping the Hornets to a Division One runners-up place. A knee problem looks likely to keep Rob out of the entire 2006/7 season.
