Club career
Robson was born in Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and Wear, and attended St Robert of Newminster Catholic School in nearby Washington.[3] He started his career with the youth team at local side Sunderland, joining the club at the age of eight and rose through the ranks to go to a full-time professional with the first team in the summer of 2014.[3]
He featured regularly and captained the development squad and under-23 side before signing a two-year contract extension in April 2016.[4] He played three games for the under-21 side in the 2016–17 EFL Trophy, and also appeared as an unused substitute on several occasions for the first team.[5] He made his first-team debut in September 2017, when he replaced James Vaughan as a late substitute in the 3–0 defeat to Everton in the EFL Cup.[6] A few days later he made his league debut in the Championship in a home defeat to Cardiff City.[6]
Robson was loaned to Dundee in January 2019.[7] He made 13 appearances in the Scottish Premiership and scored twice.[8]
On 2 September 2019, Robson headed out on loan again, this time joining League Two side Grimsby Town, where he played regularly until returning to Sunderland in January 2020.[9][8]
Robson was released by Sunderland when his contract expired at the end of the 2019–20 season, bringing to an end a 16-year spell with the club during which he made just nine league appearances.[10]
On 6 August 2020, Robson joined League One club Blackpool on a two-year deal with an option of a third.[11] He scored his first goal for Blackpool in an EFL Trophy tie against Leeds United U21s on 11 November 2020.[12]
