Sarah Cathryn Ann Robson (née McFadden; born 23 May 1987) is a Northern Irish footballer who plays as a defender or striker for Durham in the FA Women's Championship.
Magherafelt-born[2] Robson played in Northern Ireland for Moyola Park and Ballymena United Allstars. In 2005, she won a scholarship to University of Southern Mississippi and played varsity soccer for Southern Miss Golden Eagles. Following graduation she headed to the Icelandic Úrvalsdeild, where she played for Fylkir, then Grindavík.[3]
At the end of the 2010 Icelandic season, Robson and international teammate Rachel Furness left Grindavík for Sunderland.
In June 2012 The Belfast Telegraph newspaper reported that three Northern Ireland players including Robson had been selected in the 18-player Great Britain squad for the 2012 London Olympics.[4] But Robson quickly denied the report: "I haven't received anything about being in final squad... Wish it was true but unfortunately not."[5] When the final squad was named, no Northern Irish or Welsh players were included.[6]
On 13 January 2016, it was announced she was leaving Sunderland after five years serving the club and signing with Durham.[7]
Robson made her international debut for the Northern Ireland national team in 2005.[8]
She won her 100th cap in a 1-0 win over Albania in the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League on 26 September 2023; Robson was substituted at half-time, and passed the armband to Lauren Wade, who was making her 50th appearance for the national side.
