Clark Robertson (born 5 September 1993) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Scottish Premiership club Dundee.
Career
[edit]He signed a full-time contract with Aberdeen in June 2009,[2] and made his debut for the club in a 3–1 defeat to Hamilton Academical on 1 May 2010.[3]
Robertson was selected for the Scotland national under-21 football team in April 2012, but was forced to withdraw due to a knee injury.[4]
In May 2012, Robertson signed a new three-year deal with Aberdeen, tying him to the club until 2015.[5] He was released by Aberdeen in June 2015 and subsequently signed for Blackpool.[6]
In July 2018, Robertson signed a three-year deal with Championship side Rotherham United.[7] He scored his first Rotherham United goal on 27 November 2018, in a 2–2 home draw against Queens Park Rangers.[8] On 17 May 2021, Rotherham United published their retained list, and confirmed Robertson would be leaving the club at the end of his contract.[9]
On 22 June 2021, it was announced that Robertson had signed a two-year contract with Portsmouth, and would join them on 1 July.[10] He would suffer an injury in September that ended in December but didn't play a game back until January. He went on to score his first goal for the club against former team Rotherham United in a 3-0 Pompey win.
Robertson left Portsmouth at the end of the 2022–23 season and then signed for Israeli club MS Ashdod. He left the country in October 2023, along with the club's other foreign players, following the start of the Israel–Hamas war.[11]
On 21 June 2024, Robertson returned to Scotland and joined Scottish Premiership club Dundee on a two-year deal.[12] In his first game with the Dark Blues, a friendly against Arbroath, Robertson suffered a hamstring injury which would keep him out for the first part of the season.[13]
