College and amateur Robinson grew up in the
Cleveland area and graduated from
Elyria High School. He played
college soccer at the
University of Dayton for four years, where he finished with 6 goals and 13 assists in 68 matches, and spent three seasons with
Chicago Fire Premier in the
USL Premier Development League.
Professional Robinson was drafted in the second round, 22nd overall, by
Chicago Fire in the
2006 MLS Supplemental Draft and played for Chicago into the
2011 MLS season. He was traded to
Toronto FC on July 28, 2011, for
Dan Gargan and a second-round
2012 MLS SuperDraft pick. Robinson made his debut for Toronto on August 18 in the
CONCACAF Champions League group stage against
Tauro F.C., a 2–1 away victory for TFC. Robinson's stay in Toronto lasted less than two months as he was traded to
Los Angeles Galaxy on September 15, 2011, in exchange for
Kyle Davies. At season's end, Los Angeles declined his 2012 contract option and he entered the
2011 MLS Re-Entry Draft. After no other club selected him, Los Angeles exercised its option to retain his MLS rights. On January 27, 2012, Robinson announced his retirement via his Twitter account.
Coaching Robinson is currently involved in coaching in the Chicago area through the private coaching service,
CoachUp. ==Honors==
