Career
England
Robson was on the books of Doncaster Rovers as a youth team player until 2001,[1] when he joined Charlton Athletic, and became an integral part of the reserve team system. His contract was extended in 2002,[2] but with injury disrupting his 2002–03 season, he failed to break through to the first team, and in June 2003, 20-year-old Robson was released.[3][4] Robson then went on to sign for Northern Premier League team Bridlington Town for 1 month before heading to America.[5]
United States
Robson relocated to the United States in 2005. He signed with the Long Island Rough Riders in the USL Second Division, and stayed with the club through the end of 2007.
After two seasons in Uniondale, Robson left to join Crystal Palace Baltimore in 2008. He enjoyed a trial spell at Baltimore's parent club, Crystal Palace, in January 2009, but was not offered a contract by the team.[6] On March 16, 2010 Baltimore were pleased to announce the re-signing of Robson to a new contract for the 2010 season.
Return to British football
On July 28, 2011 Robson signed a professional contract with Conference National side Newport County but left Newport in October 2011. In January 2012 Robson signed with Lincoln City of the Conference National. After helping keep Lincoln City in the Conference National with some impressive performances, Robson signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until May 2013. On 29 January 2013 Robson left the club by mutual consent.[7] He swiftly linked up with North Ferriby United. Robson finished the 2012/13 season winning the Doodson Cup, the East Riding FA Senior Cup and the Northern Premier Evostik League Title with North Ferriby United. It was the first time in the clubs history to win the treble. In June 2013 Robson penned a new deal with North Ferriby United for the 2013/14 season.[8]
