After signing his first professional contract with St Patrick's Athletic in January 2021,[1] it was announced on 26 February 2021 that Robinson had signed for League of Ireland First Division side Wexford on a season long loan.[6] His first goal for the club came on 16 April 2021 when he scored a late consolation goal in a 2–1 loss to Cobh Ramblers.[7] On 2 July 2021, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–4 draw with Athlone Town.[8] He finished an impressive loan season with 10 goals in 26 appearances in all competitions despite his side finishing bottom of the league.[9]
