Biography

Club career

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]
