Confusion was created late on Thursday night by Linfield and rivals Crusaders both announcing over social media the capture of the defender.

“The Irish FA received Standard Professional Contract forms for Josh Robinson from both Linfield FC (7:56pm) and Crusaders FC (10:56pm) yesterday evening,” clarified the game’s governing body. “Having considered the documentation received from both clubs, and based upon Irish FA regulations regarding priority of registrations, the Irish FA can confirm that the player is successfully registered with Linfield FC.”

The 24-year-old left Crusaders in 2016 to join York.
