Robbie Willmott (born 16 May 1990) is an English footballer who plays as a winger for Newport County.
In the summer of 2006 head of Cambridge's youth development Jez George spotted Willmott playing for Buntingford under 16's against Cambridge City and offered him a weeks trail at Cambridge United. Willmott joined United as a scholar and went on to play for Cambridge Regional College in the Eastern Counties Football League to gain further experience in a competitive environment.
Willmott a product of United's youth system made his senior debut for the club at the age of 17 on 15 September 2007. Willmott was brought on for the last ten minutes at the Abbey Stadium as Cambridge ran out 2–1 winners against Crawley Town. The winger signed his first professional contract with Cambridge United in December 2007 and went on to score his first senior goal for United in the FA Cup against Boston United at their York Street ground on 25 October 2008, his overall performance deserving of the man of the match award, an award that Cambridge United manager at the time Gary Brabin concurred with.
Willmott featured in Cambridge United's Conference Premier play-off final defeat to Torquay United at Wembley Stadium in May 2009. He started in the final and the second leg of the semi-final, a game in which he scored for United.
In January 2010, Willmott became an outlandish transfer target for fellow Conference club Histon but Cambridge United decided to turn their offer down.
Later that year, Willmott controversially attacked former Cambridge United players Danny Crow and Dan Gleeson for joining Conference rivals Luton Town during the summer, he said "But if they (Crow & Gleeson) don't want to play for the club and they don't want to do the graft to get the club into the Football League, then fine. We don't want players who aren't going to put 100% into the team."
