Trying to do a rudimentary bit of research into this lad, got a little confusing for a bit, until I realised that both Sunderland AND Scunthorpe each have an attacking midfielder called Josh Robertson, born within a few months of each other in 2005...
Josh Robertson - Midfielder - First Team - Scunthorpe United
Josh Robertson was one of the new scholars inducted in May 2021 for two years and signed his first professional deal with the club in the summer of 2023.www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk
Josh Robertson - Player profile 23/24
Josh Robertson, 18, from England ➤ Brighton & Hove Albion U21, since 2023 ➤ Attacking Midfield ➤ Market value: - ➤ * Oct 3, 2005 in , Englandwww.transfermarkt.co.uk
Also not helped by the fact that Sunderland's official site actually shows their Robertson ..... with the birthdate of Scunthorpe's Robertson! (Clearly their data comes from some central database which is pulling the wrong info).

OH MY GOD - a club's fans forum with a thread on the U-18s that has had over 3,000 posts from multiple posters in less than 18 months!Sunderland AFC U18s
Ex Pro Lucas Neil’s son, who used to play for Liverpool, West Ham, is on trial at the minute for the U16’s. Looked sharp and got on the scoresheet. Used to be at Liverpool Academy.www.readytogo.net

But this is how we have acquired our best players ever. Mac Allister signed and loaned back to South American club, Caicedo signed and loaned out, Mitoma signed and loaned out, Bissouma signed not loaned out but took a few years to become good, Ben White came through the youth team etc. This is how we do business and it’s f***ing genius compared to how other clubs operate. #keepthefaith

The website reports that he has signed a three-and-a-half year deal. As I understand it, a scholar cannot sign a professional contract that is longer than three years, so technically I think he will initially sign as a scholar and then a three-year professional contract will kick in in the summer.

He's not going to be anywhere the first team until we sell Enciso and Buanonotte for £50 million each in Summer 2025.
Some of the players we sign are recruited for their potential and not necessarily as future first team players. If we can make a few hundred grand on a player over a couple of years then it has been a good investment, subsidising the ones who fall by the wayside.

We're gonna need a bigger Creche!
I think the only way we will keep on the Euro scene is to invest wisely and develop it.
If Roberto doesn't like the business plan he will have to move on, we of course could give him the freedom of the city.....if he wants it!

Looks like he’s just about to sit down at a seance.
