Robinson told bcfc.co.uk: “It’s nice to be back, it’s the club that I started my career at so it’s lovely to be back here again.
“I’ve had some good discussions with Charlotte [Healy] and [owners] Mercury13. Our visions align and I couldn’t turn down the opportunity to be a part of it.”
Head Coach Charlotte Healy added: “Katie is a fantastic player. She’s young, she’s quick and she’s so exciting to watch, I know the fans will be delighted to have her back at Bristol City.
“Over the past couple of seasons Katie has gained some fantastic experiences both domestically and internationally playing in the WSL and being part of the England Seniors World Cup squad.
She’s grown as a player and knows what it takes to play at that level. Her experience will be really important to our team for the second half of the season, so I’m delighted that she chose to join us and be a part of what we’re building here at Bristol City.”
