Rob started playing with Douglas Hall at underage level before progressing onto Cork City’s underage setup, where he won the u19 league and cup double at the club. He spent time with UCC in the Munster Senior League before rejoining City and in 2014 he became a firm fixture in John Caulfield’s senior squad, making 15 appearances during the season.
He remained at the Rebels in 2015 before joining Sligo Rovers on loan midway through the campaign. Upon finishing his loan spell, Lehane left Cork in search of first team football and has now committed to Cobh for the 2016 season.
