Club career
Early career
Born in São Caetano do Sul, São Paulo, Robinho was a Mirassol youth graduate, but made his senior debut with Atibaia in 2016. Later in that year, he was loaned to Série C side Confiança, but did not play in any match for the club.
After scoring seven goals for Atibaia in the 2017 Campeonato Paulista Série A3, Robinho was loaned to Figueirense in the Série B. He immediately became a starter for his new side, scoring seven times in only 18 appearances.
Fluminense
On 13 August 2017, Fluminense announced the signing of Robinho from Atibaia on a four-year contract, for a rumoured fee of € 2 million (R$ 7.4 million) for 50% of the economic rights.[2] He made his Série A debut on 10 September, replacing Douglas Augusto in a 2–2 away draw against Vitória.
Loans to América Mineiro, CSA and Vila Nova
After failing to establish himself at Flu, Robinho was loaned to América Mineiro in 2018. After only 12 goalless matches, he joined CSA on loan until the end of the year on 25 February 2019.[3]
After just nine matches at CSA, Robinho's loan was cut short and he moved to Vila Nova, also in a temporary deal.
Bashundhara Kings
On 5 August 2020, Robinho moved abroad for the first time in his career and joined Bangladeshi club Bashundhara Kings on a season-long loan.[4] On 22 December, he scored his first goal with Kings in the 2020–21 Bangladesh Federation Cup. Robinho scored 24 goals for the Kings during his loan period, lifting a domestic double with the club and being the league's top goalscorer with 21 goals.
Following the season, his contract with Fluminense expired and he signed a permanent deal with Bashundhara.[5]
Robinho scored the first-ever goal at the new Bashundhara Kings Arena Stadium on 17 February 2022, during a 3–0 win against Bangladesh Police FC.[6]
On 17 July 2022 he extended his contract with Kings until 2024.
