Club career
Aston Villa
Robinson is a product of the Aston Villa youth team.[2] He made his Villa debut on 24 September 2013 in the League Cup third round in a 0–4 home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur, replacing Aleksandar Tonev for the final eight minutes.[3] His Premier League debut came on 19 April 2014, replacing Andreas Weimann for the last five minutes of a goalless draw with Southampton at Villa Park,[4] and he made three further substitute appearances for the remainder of the season.
Preston North End (loan)
Robinson was loaned to Preston North End of League One,[5] initially on a one-month deal on 16 September 2014 and made his debut that night as a substitute against a Chesterfield side featuring fellow Villa loanee Daniel Johnson.[6] His first professional goal came on 28 October, opening a 2–0 win at Leyton Orient by converting Chris Humphrey's cross.[7] On 10 November, Robinson scored a hat trick against Havant & Waterlooville in a 3–0 away win in the first round of the FA Cup.[8] Following a successful spell with Preston, scoring 5 goals in 11 league and cup appearances, Robinson was recalled by Aston Villa on 25 November, despite his loan having been previously extended until January 2015.[9]
Robinson returned to Preston on loan for the rest of the 2014–15 season on transfer deadline day, 2 February 2015.[10]
Bristol City (loan)
On 7 August 2015, Robinson joined Bristol City on loan for the 2015–16 season.[11] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–1 defeat to Luton Town in the League Cup four days later.[12] His loan with City was cut short on 2 January 2016 after falling out of the first team, having made no appearances since October.[13]
Return to Preston North End
On 5 January 2016, Robinson re-signed for Preston until the end of the season, taking the number 37 shirt.[14]
On 4 July 2016, Robinson joined Preston North End on a three-year deal after two successful loan spells.[15]
International career
Robinson has played for the England U16 and England U17 sides.[16] Robinson made his England U19 debut on 14 November 2013 as a substitute. He scored his first U19 goal in the 88th minute of the same game.
