Bradford City
He signed a one-year contract with Bradford City in May 2017.[2][7] 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.[8][9] He scored his first goal for the club on 18 November 2017,[10][9] and was praised by manager Stuart McCall.[11] In January 2018 he signed a new contract with the club until summer 2020.[12][13] Later that month he stated that the new contract would not impact on his form.[3] At the end of his first season as a professional, where he scored 3 goals in 26 appearances in all competitions,[9] he was named Bradford City's 'Supporters' Trust Under 23s Player of the Year'.[14] He also commented that his football was still developing.[15]
Suspension and criminal conviction
On 15 August 2018, ten minutes before kick-off of an EFL Cup game against Macclesfield Town, Robinson was removed from the locker room for questioning by police.[16] He was suspended by the club the next day,[17][18] and then arrested on suspicion of sexual assault.[19] He was sacked by Bradford City on 24 February 2020 after police announced charges against him.[20][21]
On 16 June 2020, Robinson pleaded guilty to sex offences involving a 14-year-old girl.[22][23][24][25][26]
Playing style
In May 2017 Robinson was 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".[4] Primarily a left winger, Robinson was also occasionally used by Bradford City manager Stuart McCall as a left back.[27]
