Robinson made 150 appearances for Atlanta, also winning the U.S. Open Cup, Campeones Cup and being voted into the MLS Best XI in 2019.
That same year, Robinson made his debut for the USMNT and has gone onto make 27 appearances for his country, winning the Concacaf Gold Cup in 2021 and the Concacaf Nations League title earlier this year.
