Career

Aspland-Robinson signed for Harlequins straight from school and initially went on loan to Worthing.[2] He played for England under-20s in the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship, including starting the final where England beat Ireland.[3]

Aspland-Robinson signed a new contract with Harlequins on 22 March 2017,[4] but then missed a year with an anterior cruciate ligament injury resulting in him joining Leicester Tigers in the summer of 2018.[5]

Aspland-Robinson made his Leicester debut on 12 January 2019 in a Champions Cup match against Scarlets in Llanelli.[6][7]

In March 2021, he was signed by Coventry on a deal which would see him remain dual registered with Leicester Tigers.[8] On 14 July 2021 it was announced Aspland-Robinson would remain with Coventry on a season-long loan for the 2021–22 RFU Championship season.[9]

On 1 July 2022, Aspland-Robinson was released by Leicester.[10]
