Robinson was born in Milton Keynes, England to Marlon Robinson, who has American origins, and a British mother. He was not an only child as he was blessed with multiple siblings. Robinson, despite living in England was accustomed to American traditions, primarily learning them from watching American television programs. His father was also a professional footballer, so he took his son under his wing and trained him during his childhood. This has helped him securing a contract at the Everton Academy at the tender age of 11.
Robinson has been romantically involved with Darcy Myers and have reportedly been dating since 2019. The couple mostly share their moments privately away from social media but in 2022, Robinson posted on Instagram his proposal to his girlfriend with a heartfelt message, to which she said yes. They are also blessed with a daughter Atlas, whose identity has been kept private by their parents.
Robinson started his football career at Everton and rose through the ranks, representing the club at all the youth levels. His performances impressed multiple clubs at the lower levels and Bolton Wanderers brought him in on loan in 2017, where he made his professional senior debut. He established himself as the starting left-back and ended the season with good numbers.
Wigan Athletic took a punt on him and signed him permanently on a three-year contract. Robinson continued his excellence, contributing to his team at both ends, and establishing himself as one of the best left-backs in the league. He was linked with multiple elite clubs after that and while AC Milan almost signed him, a failed medical test resulted in the deal getting broken down. After Wigan got relegated from the Championship, Fulham signed him on cheap for around £2M.
Fulham has been a home to multiple American stars before and there was no other place better for Robinson to improve. He took his game to the next level at Fulham performing at higher standards, making it into the Championship Team Of The Season and also helped the club get back into the Premier League again. He got a new, improved contract as a reward and he repaid the faith of the club. In the 2023-24 season, he won the Fulham Player Of The Year Award, after having the best season of his career.
Currently, he is thriving under Marco Silva. A rapid full-back who is excellent at crossing, Robinson is crucial to how Fulham play currently. His crosses were always a big weapon for this side, which were received by Aleksandr Mitrovic back then and Raul Jimenez currently. With multiple big clubs hovering over him currently, Fulham will have to do everything it takes to retain their star.
Despite his birth in England, Robinson always wanted to represent The United States of America. He played at all junior levels and received his first call-up in 2018 at just 20 years of age. While his fullback counterparts failed to establish themselves properly in Europe, Robinson never had such issues.
Robinson started all four matches in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and was particularly impressive in a 0-0 draw vs England which helped them qualify for the knockouts. Arguably the best-ever fullback to play for the country and the first name on the teamsheet after captain Christian Pulisic, his value is immeasurable to USMNT fans, who often rely upon him to come up big in crucial moments.
