Biography

edit

Club career

edit

Robson played for Brazilian clubs Flamengo and Cabofriense between 2004 and 2008.[citation needed]

On 15 December 2008, it was announced that Robson, and fellow Brazilian Jefferson had signed one-year deals to play for A-League club Gold Coast United.[citation needed]

Robson was spotted playing for a match arranged for scouts in Rio de Janeiro. He scored on his A-League debut for Gold Coast United United against Brisbane Roar in a 3–1 victory.[1][2][3]

After an impressive debut performance against Brisbane Roar where Robson scored the third goal in the 3–1 win, he was offered a 3-year deal by Gold Coast which he also signed.[citation needed]

He was caught drunk driving after a night out with friends.[4] Robson landed himself in hot water once more with Gold Coast manager Miron Bleiberg and faced being axed from Gold Coast United, after he failed to show up to a Youth League game after being dropped from the first XI soon after the loss to Adelaide United.[5]
