Club career edit

After coming through the Southampton Second Chance Programme and Brighton & Hove Albion's academy, Robinson's career started with Peacehaven & Telscombe, followed by brief spells at Lewes and Bognor Regis Town before a serious knee injury restricted his appearances at Haywards Heath Town.[4]

Robinson joined Staines Town for the 2020-2021 season. He scored a hat-trick in a 4-4 draw with South Park on 17 October 2020 [5] and was named Supporters' Player of the Season.

Robinson made his international debut for Bermuda against Surinam on 4 June 2021 in a World Cup qualifier,[3] and started again against Cayman Islands four days later.[6] He has also appeared in the Gold Cup.[7]

Robinson joined Horsham on 30 July 2021 after impressing in pre-season.[8] Robinson then re-signed for Haywards Heath Town, before moving to Worthing in December 2021[9] and then signing joint registration forms with Bognor Regis Town on 15 August 2022.[10]

On 17 December 2022 Robinson ended his joint registration with Bognor Regis Town and joined Whitehawk,[11] scoring on his debut at Three Bridges,[12] followed by a stoppage time winner against Haywards Heath Town.[13] Robinson signed permanently for Whitehawk in June 2023,[14] but left shortly afterwards to sign a professional contract with Glacis United in Gibraltar.
