A product of Kings School, Worcester, Sean has enjoyed a number of life experiences through rugby, including a period spent in Australia, where he played for Randwick Club.
After returning to the UK he enrolled at Durham University where he successfully completed a degree course in physics. Whilst at the university Robinson represented England Students during the 2013/2014 season before signing full professional terms with Newcastle Falcons the following summer.
Having begun the 2013/14 season on dual registration with Championship side Rotherham Titans, Robinson returned to Newcastle Falcons ahead of the autumn cup window, coming off the bench to make his first-team debut against Bucharest Wolves before scoring his first Falcons try in the club’s 30-23 European Rugby Challenge Cup victory over Stade Francais.
Robinson made his Premiership debut later that season away to Bath, making a further two league appearances to take his tally for that season up to 11.
The Lock signed a new deal with Newcastle Falcons at the start of 2015/16, ending the season as the second-highest line-out taker in the division, according to the Opta stats, before featuring six times in an injury-interrupted 2016-17 Premiership season.
Continuing his consistent form with 17 Premiership appearances during 2017-18, Robinson endured an injury-hit 2018-19 season due to a broken arm but returned to finish the campaign, signing up for another four seasons in the summer of 2019.
Helping the team to promotion during 2019-20, a strong 2020-21 season saw him scoring five tries in 19 appearances, including some as captain. That was enough to earn him an England call-up for their 2021 summer tests, only for a knee injury sustained in national training to deny him a first full cap.
