He was set to celebrate as he followed his Birmingham City side as they took on promotion hopefuls Southampton in the Championship.
But the fixture was overshadowed for Robinson as it was announced just 90 minutes ahead of kick off that his contract had been terminated.
Birmingham released a statement that read: “The Club can confirm that Jack Robinson has left the Club following the mutual termination of his contract.”
“Everyone at Blues would like to thank Jack for his efforts while at the Club and wish him well for the future.”

Robinson is a youth product of Liverpool, who became an EFL mainstay through spells with Wolves, Blackpool, Queens Park Rangers and Huddersfield.
He is best known for his lengthy spell with the Blades, with whom he starred in the Prem under Chris Wilder.
He joined the Tom Brady-backed Blues on his birthday in 2025, but it has hardly been smooth sailing since.
His best-known moment in the side’s kit came against his former side Sheffield United in March 2026, when he handled the ball in his box after it was rolled to him by his own keeper.
Robinson seemingly believed the ball had previously gone out of play, as he walked it to the edge of the six-yard box and rolled it into place with his hand, giving away a penalty that was converted.
