Career

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

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

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

In March 2021, he was signed by Coventry on a deal which would see him remain dual registered with Leicester Tigers. 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.

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