Career

Robinson played youth football with Arsenal, joining at the age of seven.[3] and was released by the club in February 2017.[4] After a trial with Watford in April 2017,[5] he signed a one-year contract with Bradford City in May 2017.[6] He made his senior debut on 21 October 2017, appearing as a substitute in a league match; this was followed three days later by a start in an EFL Trophy game.[7][8] He scored his first goal for the club on 18 November 2017,[9][8] and was praised by manager Stuart McCall.[10] In January 2018 he signed a new contract with the club until summer 2020.[11][12] Later that month he stated that the new contract would not impact on his form.[2] At the end of his first season as a professional, where he scored 3 goals in 26 appearances in all competitions,[8] he was named Bradford City's 'Supporters' Trust Under 23s Player of the Year'.[13] He also commented that his football was still developing.[14] He was suspended by the club on 16 August 2018, with immediate effect; no reason was provided.[15][16] The next day he was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.[17] On 28 September the club confirmed that Robinson remained suspended.[18]

Playing style

He has been described by Bradford City Head of Recruitment Greg Abbott as having "bags of pace" and being "a strong, athletic kid with a great desire to prove everybody wrong".[3] Primarily a left winger, Robinson was also occasionally used by Bradford City manager Stuart McCall as a left back.[19]
