EFL Clubs in Race to Sign Clark Robertson
Former Scotland youth international Clark Robertson appears poised for a return to the Football League this summer.
Robertson, who signed a one-year contract with Ashdod last summer, is set to become a free agent in the coming weeks. This impending availability has sparked significant interest from several Football League clubs.
According to the latest reports, Bristol Rovers, Stockport County, and MK Dons are all keen on acquiring the 30-year-old defender.
Robertson’s decision to return from Israel to be closer to his family further boosts these clubs’ chances of securing his services.
Clark Robertson could be a useful signing for interested EFL clubs
It does feel as though signing Robertson could prove to be a smart piece of business for one of these clubs if they can get it done.
All three of these teams have seen defensive options leave already this summer, and so may need to add to their options in that position over the coming months.
Signing Robertson would allow them to do that, and in the process, bringing in a player who has plenty of Football League experience that could prove useful further down the line.
With the defender also available on a free transfer, there ought to be little financial risk associated with this deal, for whoever might be able to complete this signing, and it could be a coup with that other interest.
As a result, pursuing a deal for Robertson looks as though it would be a smart move for the likes of Bristol Rovers, Stockport and MK Dons this summer.
