Robson Alves da Silva (born 3 November 1986 in Rio de Janeiro), commonly referred to as Robson, is a professional footballer from Brazil who is presently signed with Marília Atlético Clube.
Club career
Between 2004 and 2008, Robson was part of the Brazilian football scene, representing clubs such as Flamengo and Cabofriense.
On 15 December 2008, Robson, alongside fellow Brazilian Jefferson, inked one-year contracts with the A-League side Gold Coast United.
Discovered during a scouting event held in Rio de Janeiro, Robson made an immediate impact by scoring on his debut in the A-League for Gold Coast United, contributing to a 3–1 win against Brisbane Roar. His strong initial performance earned him a contract extension lasting three years with the club.
Despite his promising start, Robson's period at Gold Coast was marred by off-field complications, including an incident involving drunk driving and disciplinary issues related to missing a Youth League fixture. These matters threatened his standing within the team under the management of Miron Bleiberg.
