Club career

Ipswich Town

In 2008, Robinson joined Championship side Ipswich Town at the age of 12. After rapidly progressing through the Ipswich Town youth sides since his arrival, Robinson has captained both under-18 and under-21 sides.[1]

On 28 November 2015, after some fine form in the under-21 side, Robinson was named on the bench in Ipswich Town's 3-0 away victory over Charlton Athletic, however he failed to feature.[2] On 19 January 2016, Robinson made his senior debut in a 2-1 defeat to Portsmouth in the FA Cup, replacing Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the 89th minute.[3]

On 22 February 2016, Robinson joined National League side Woking on a one-month loan deal until 28 March 2016.[4] On 23 February 2016, Robinson made his Woking debut in a 3–1 away defeat against Grimsby Town, playing the full 90 minutes.[5] On 1 April 2016, Robinson's loan spell at Woking was extended until the end of the 2015/16 campaign.[6] However, Robinson's loan spell at Woking was cut short in mid April.

On 25 August 2016, Robinson joined National League North side Boston United on a one-month loan deal, to gain first-team experience.[7] Two days later, Robinson made his Boston United debut in a 1–1 home draw against Kidderminster Harriers, scoring an own goal to give the visitors the lead.[8]
