On 26 July 2014, Robertson played for Stirling Albion as a trialist in their Scottish Challenge Cup match against Elgin City.[7] Robertson signed a contract with Stirling soon afterwards.[8] After two seasons with Albion, Robertson signed for Annan Athletic in July 2016.[9] Robertson left Annan in October 2016, returning to Forthbank Stadium where he played 3 matches as a trialist for Stirling, before signing a contract with the club during the 2017 winter transfer window.[10] Robertson left Albion in October 2018 due to work commitments.[11]
