After falling out of favour at Leicestershire, Robson left the club in April 2017,[2] and soon found a new home at Sussex.[3] However, after making no appearances in 2018, he signed for Kidderminster CC in the Birmingham and District League.[4] In 2019 he played in four first-class matches for Durham, but was not retained on the staff at the end of the season.
