On 28 November 2015, after some fine form in the under-21 side, Robinson was named on the bench in Ipswich Town's 3–0 away victory over Charlton Athletic, however he failed to feature. On 19 January 2016, Robinson made his senior debut in a 2–1 defeat to Portsmouth in the FA Cup, replacing Ainsley Maitland-Niles in the 89th minute.

On 1 April 2016, Robinson's loan spell at Woking was extended until the end of the 2015/16 campaign. However, Robinson's loan spell at Woking was cut short in mid April.

On 25 August 2016, Robinson joined National League North side Boston United on a one-month loan deal, to gain first-team experience. Two days later, Robinson made his Boston United debut in a 1–1 home draw against Kidderminster Harriers, scoring an own goal to give the visitors the lead.

Following his release from Ipswich, Robinson joined Southern League Premier Division side Bishop's Stortford. Following an impressive first season with the Blues, in which he featured in forty-four league games all season, scoring five times, Robinson signed a new one-year deal ahead of the 2018–19 campaign.

Despite signing a new one-year deal with Bishop's Stortford, Robinson opted to re-unite with his brother Ben, at Cambridge City.
