ONE of the finds of last season, Robbie played a huge part in Larne's first-team during 2004/05 culminating in an Irish Cup Final appearance in May.
He even made a little bit of history last October when his strike for Larne in the 5-2 demolition of Crusaders at Inver Park made him the youngest ever scorer of a Premier League goal.
The teenager's emergence meant his talents were widely sought after, but following much consideration he eventually agreed to sign a contract with Mick McCarthy's Sunderland whom he will join in the summer.
A strong and aggressive midfielder, Robbie has the potential to go far in the game.
