Club career
Early career
After playing for Leeds United, [3] Robinson joined Manchester City at the age of 14. [4] He was originally a striker at Leeds, was then moved to centre-back at Manchester City and then later to central midfield, before he finally settled at right-back. [3] He represented the Manchester City Academy team in the EFL Trophy on 24 September 2019, in a 2–1 win at Bradford City. [5] He was promoted to the Elite Development Squad in January 2020. [2] He was given the squad number 77. He was sidelined after picking up what coach Brian Barry-Murphy described as a "really bad injury" in August 2020. [6] [7] He made a total of 16 appearances in the Professional Development League, scoring one goal and providing two assists. [8]
Port Vale
Robinson signed an 18-month contract with League Two club Port Vale on 31 January 2022, after manager Darrell Clarke needed cover for the injured Lewis Cass and with James Gibbons; director of football David Flitcroft cited a desire to build a relationship with Manchester City; City retained a sell-on clause. [8] [9] He made his debut at Vale Park on 20 March, coming on as a substitute for David Worrall in a 2–0 win over Sutton United. [10] He was an unused substitute as Vale secured promotion out of the play-offs with victory over Mansfield Town in the final at Wembley Stadium. [11] He made his full debut on 6 August, in a 4–0 defeat at fellow League One newcomers Exeter City, and despite giving away a penalty he received praise from Clarke, who said Robinson was "unfairly penalised". [12] Speaking three months later, Robinson said his focus was on improving the defensive aspect of his game. [3] On 15 April, he was sent off for two bookable offences in a 3–2 defeat at Lincoln City despite only coming on as a half-time substitute; he was defended by opposition manager Mark Kennedy, who said that Robinson had been a "little bit emotional and rash" but that "he has had a really tough start in his life and he is an incredible person". [13] Flitcroft confirmed that the player's contract would not be renewed beyond June 2023. [14]
Kidderminster Harriers
On 29 September 2023, Robinson joined Kidderminster Harriers of the National League. [15] He played 22 games in the 2023–24 season. [1] Kidderminster Harriers were relegated at the end of the 2023–24 season. [16]
Hereford
On 31 July 2024, Robinson joined National League North club Hereford. [17] He was voted Hereford's player of the month for September, and signed a contract with the club in October. [18] [19]
