Club career

Born in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Robson represented São Caetano, Red Bull Brasil and Mirassol as a youth. After leaving the latter in the end of 2013, he joined União Suzano, and made his senior debut during the 2014 Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão.

Robson moved to Taubaté for the 2014 Copa Paulista, but signed for São José dos Campos ahead of the 2015 season. He was a regular starter for the latter, notably scoring in a city derby against São José EC.[1]

On 21 August 2015, Robson was announced at Manthiqueira for the latter stages of the Paulista Segunda Divisão.[2] He remained for the 2016 season, but left in June to join Cypriot Second Division side Othellos Athienou, on a two-year deal.[3]

Robson returned to Brazil ahead of the 2018 campaign, and agreed to a contract with Juventus-SP. On 30 September 2020, he moved to Água Santa for the Copa Paulista.[4]

Robson left Água Santa on 23 December 2020, after not renewing his contract,[5] and signed for Pouso Alegre for the 2021 Campeonato Mineiro.[6] He returned to his native state on 19 July 2021, after joining XV de Piracicaba.[7]

On 1 July 2022, Robson was announced as the new signing of Portuguesa.[8] On 26 October, he renewed his contract until the end of the 2023 Campeonato Paulista.[9]

On 4 April 2023, after becoming a regular starter for Lusa, Robson extended his contract for a further year.[10] After another contract extension, he was loaned to Série C side Confiança for the remainder of the season on 23 April 2024.[11]
