Leyton Orient

Rob is a product of the Orient Academy and became one of the stars of their youth side. He failed to make much impact on the first team squad, however he managed to feature in several youth Premiership games. He became a a part of the Orient youth team squad that started such professional careers D J Campbell and Justin Hoyte. But where as Rob stayed on and made an impact at Brisbane Road, they left to find a new club. Mellerick was scouted and left the club at the end of the 2000-2001 season, and joined Tottenham Hotspurs.

Tottenham Hotspurs

On July 2001, he was sold to Tottenham Hotspurs for £25,000. Spurs are currently playing in the Premier League, and Rob was one of the first signings of the new campaign for manager Lennie Lawrence who became the Tottenham Youth Coach in May of that year. He became an instant hit at White Heart Lane as Spura fired themselves to the top of the youth league within the first 5 games of the season. Following the completion of several league games for Spurs in the 2002-2003 season, Mellerick was loaned out to Hull City for the remainder of the season.
