Robinson was first noticed by Bristol Rugby after putting in sequentially impressive performances while plying his trade for Moseley, and was snapped up by his father, then Bristol Director Of Rugby, Andy Robinson in the summer of 2014.[4] Robinson got his chance at top-flight rugby in the Aviva Premiership, after helping Bristol to promotion. Robinson also captained Bristol at times during this period. After Bristol's relegation back to the Greene King IPA Championship Robinson went on loan to Pro14 outfit Cardiff Blues, returning from his loan spell to play one final time for Bristol. It was announced, firstly, that Robinson was to make a permanent switch to the Cardiff Blues from the end of the 2017/18 season; and then a few days later, that this arrangement came into immediate effect.
