Career

AFC Wimbledon

On 9 September 2019, whilst still a second year scholar at AFC Wimbledon, Robinson joined Basingstoke Town on loan.[2] On 13 November 2019, Robinson made his debut for the club in a 3–1 EFL Trophy loss against Southend United.[3] He scored his first goal for Wimbledon in an EFL Trophy tie against Brighton & Hove Albion U21s on 22 September 2020.[4] He made his league debut on 26 December 2020 in a 2–0 defeat to Oxford United, coming off of the bench to replace Ethan Chislett in the 87th minute of the match.[5]

On 12 April 2021, Robinson joined National League side Woking on loan until the end of the season,[6] making his debut the following day as he played the entirety of an incredible 4–3 defeat at home to Bromley.[7]

In August 2021, Robinson joined National League South side, Hemel Hempstead Town on a one-month loan and went onto net on his debut during a 4–2 defeat to Maidstone United, giving the Tudors an early lead in the 36th minute.[8]

On 8 January 2022, Robinson joined National League South side Hampton & Richmond Borough on a one-month loan deal.[9] He went onto feature ten times, scoring three goals before being recalled by Wimbledon in March 2022.

Loans to Dundee

On 30 July 2022, after signing a two-year contract extension with Wimbledon,[10] Robinson joined Scottish Championship club Dundee on a season-long loan.[11][12] He made his debut for Dundee on the same day against Partick Thistle.[13] On 12 August, Robinson scored his first goal for Dundee, in a home win over Arbroath.[14] After a very successful first half of the season with Dundee, scoring 8 goals in 19 appearances, Robinson was recalled early by Wimbledon in January 2023.[15]

On 31 January 2023, Robinson returned on loan to Dundee until the end of the season.[16] He marked his league return with the Dark Blues by scoring the opening goal in a 3–0 victory over Cove Rangers.[17] Upon his return he formed a successful striking partnership with Alex Jakubiak.[18] Robinson finished off his excellent loan spell with the Dark Blues in style, scoring his team-leading 12th league goal in a win over Queen's Park which clinched the Scottish Championship title for Dundee.[19]

On 30 June 2023, Robinson re-joined Dundee, now a Scottish Premiership side, on a season-long loan from Wimbledon.[20] He netted a brace against Dumbarton to open his scoring account in his second spell.[21]
