====Loan to Shrewsbury Town====
On 28 March 1996, Robinson was sent on loan to [[Shrewsbury Town F.C.|Shrewsbury Town]] for the remainder of the season to gain first-team experience. Two days later, Robinson made his [[English Football League|professional]] debut against [[Hull City A.F.C.|Hull City]] in a 1–1 draw at [[Gay Meadow]] in front of 2,346 supporters. He made five appearances for The Shrews: four in the league and one in The [[EFL Trophy|Football League Trophy]] [[1996 Football League Trophy Final|final]] at Wembley Stadium in a 2–1 defeat against [[Rotherham United F.C.|Rotherham United]] on 14 April 1996.<ref name=FLT>{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/familiar-role-for-jemson-1304918.html|title=Familiar role for Jemson|website=Independent|date=14 April 1996|accessdate=13 February 2021}}</ref>

====Return to Wolves====
Following his loan spell at Shrewsbury Town, Robinson returned to Wolves for the [[1996–97 Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. season|1996–97]] season, making his club debut that year.

Robinson was released by Wolves in June 2002 at the expiry of his contract.

===Portsmouth===
After over 180 appearances for Wolves over six seasons, he moved to [[Portsmouth F.C.|Portsmouth]] in July 2002 under the [[Bosman ruling]].

===Sunderland===
After impressing at Sunderland he signed a three-year deal in June 2004. He then went on to collect another championship winners medal as they gained promotion during a season in which he played 42 of 46 matches to become a fan's favourite.

===Norwich City===
After a loan spell with [[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]], he signed for The Canaries permanently on a 2.5 year deal for an undisclosed fee in January 2006. Robinson scored his first goal for Norwich in a 5–1 win against [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]] on 26 August 2006.

===Toronto FC===
On 31 January 2007, Robinson joined [[Toronto FC]] from Norwich after just over a year at [[Carrow Road]], even though he still had 18 months remaining on his deal with Norwich. He scored his first MLS goal when he netted Toronto's third in a 4–0 win against [[FC Dallas]] on 17 June 2007. He was voted team [[Most valuable player|MVP]] in his first year and repeated in his second year at the club.
