Youth career
Robinson progressed through the age groups at Villa before making a big impression while still a schoolboy in 2010-11, featuring and scoring in the fourth and fifth rounds of the FA Youth Cup, while also making his reserve debut. He netted 14 goals in all competitions in 2011-12, earning him promotion to the reserve side, where he scored winning goals against Chelsea and Wolves in the latter half of the campaign that helped them secure the league title. In 2012-13, he was a regular at Under-21 level and was a prominent figure in the NextGen Series as Villa won the European crown in Como.
The Northampton-born striker was rewarded for his eye-catching progress as a scholar with his senior debut at the start of the 2013-14 campaign, featuring in a September League Cup tie against Tottenham.
