Having progressed through the academy at Feyenoord, Robertha was handed his first professional contract with the club on 25 June 2015.[2][3] He made his senior debut on 1 May 2016, being brought on by manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst in the 71st minute to replace Anass Achahbar in a 1–0 Eredivisie win over Willem II.[4][5] At the end of the season he featured in Feyenoord's 10–0 win over VV Lyra in an exhibition match, scoring his first goal for the club.[6] On 8 July he was one of five youth players promoted to the senior squad permanently.[7] He failed to make an appearance for the senior side the following season, however, due in part to a hamstring tear he suffered during the course of the campaign.[8]

The following month, he netted his first competitive goal when he scored in a 5–1 KNVB Cup win over Helmond Sport.[11] He scored his first league goals on 12 January 2018, netting a brace in a 3–2 win over De Graafschap.[12]

D.C. United

On 25 March 2021, Robertha moved to MLS side D.C. United on a deal until 2023, with a club option for a further year.[15] On 17 April 2021, Robertha made his debut in United's 2021 season opener against New York City, where his side won 2–1.[16] On 27 June, Robertha scored his first goal for his new club, netting the opener in an eventual 2–1 loss to New York City.[17]
