Biography

Club career

On December 15, 2008 it was announced that Robson, and fellow Brazilian Jefferson had signed one year deals to play for A-League club Gold Coast United.

Robson was spotted playing for a match arranged for scouts in Rio de Janiero. He scored on his Hyundai A-League debut for Gold Coast United against Brisbane Roar in a 3-1 victory.[1][2][3]

After an impressive debut performance against Brisbane Roar where Robson scored the third goal in the 3-1 win, he was offered a 3 year deal by Gold Coast which he also signed.

He was caught drunk driving after a night out with friends.[4]

Robson landed himself in hot water once more with Gold Coast manager Miron Bleiberg and is facing being axed from Gold Coast United, after he failed to show up to a Youth League game after being dropped from the first XI soon after the loss to Adelaide United.[5]
