Jason Robinson Bio

As a former dual-code international, Jason Robinson is a legend of English rugby. Playing as a winger or a fullback, he was capped more than 50 times by the England rugby union side. Jason Robinson was inducted into the RugbyPass Hall of Fame in 2021.

Born 30 July 1974, Jason Robinson grew up playing rugby league. In 1991, he signed his first professional contract with Wigan, who he went on to represent until 2000. During this period, he made more than 300 appearances for the club, scoring 685 points in the process. He also made 12 appearances for Great Britain, seven for England and four for the Rest of the World. In addition, he also made a few appearances for Bath during the rugby league off-season in 1996.

In 2000, Jason Robinson switched codes and signed for Sale Sharks. He immediately made an impact for the side and, in the 2005-06 season, he became the first person to win both the Premiership and the Super League. Between 2000 and 2007, he made 159 appearances for Sale, scoring almost 250 points.

Unsurprisingly, Jason Robinson also quickly caught the attention of the England setup and he made his debut for the national rugby union side in 2001. At the time of his debut, he was only the second man to play rugby union for England after first playing rugby league for Great Britain.
