And after being rewarded with a new contract, Robinson has challenged Baldock to become the best in his position in the league.
“I want George Baldock to be the best right-back in the league, that’s the challenge I’ve set him,” he said.
“He has a huge number of attributes and I have tremendous faith in him. He only changed his position three seasons ago and he’s worked extremely hard.

Baldock added: “I’m absolutely delighted to be staying. I love playing for the football club – the manager, the lads, the staff and the fans have been great to me.
“I really want to kick on and my aim is to help the club hopefully have a successful one this season.”
