He made his first team debut as a substitute on 26 April 2008, as a striker, against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in Hearts 1–0 win at Tynecastle Stadium.[3] In doing so he became the youngest player in SPL history[4] and also the youngest player to have ever played competitive football for Hearts.[5] He was 16 years, 1 month and 14 days old.[6] He was given a new contract on 14 July 2008, extending his stay until 2011.[7]
Robinson spent the following season playing reserve and under 19 fixtures to gain experience.[2][6] He returned to first team football on 26 September 2009, against Hamilton as a substitute,[8] going on to score his first competitive goal for Hearts in a 1–1 draw with Rangers at Ibrox on 23 January 2010.[9] He made 14 appearances in total that season.[10]
Having impressed during his four first team appearances during the 2010–11 season, Robinson was awarded a new two-year deal, extending his stay until 2013.[11] Robinson featured during pre-season in Germany for the 2011–12 season[12] and began to establish himself as a regular under new manager Paulo Sergio at the start of the season, in a new central midfield role.[13] He made his European debut against Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.[14] He played as a substitute as Hearts won the 2012 Scottish Cup Final.[15]
On 3 June 2015, Robinson joined Kilmarnock on a three-year deal.[16] Towards the end of March 2016, Robinson joined Dunfermline Athletic on trial after being released by Kilmarnock, [17] subsequently signing a short-term contract as an amateur for the Scottish League One side at the start of April 2016.[18][19] Robinson made his debut in a two-all draw with Forfar Athletic at East End Park.[20] After making just two appearances for the Pars, Robinson was released by the club at the end of his contract in May 2016.[21] Shortly after leaving Dunfermline, Robinson signed for Fife rivals East Fife.[22]
On 11 May 2017, Robinson signed a pre-contract with Livingston.[23]
