Thomas Robinet (born 18 August 1996) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Dutch club Almere City.
Robinet's youth career started at FCO Chandieu, before spending five years with Lyon and then spending time at Saint-Priest. Whilst at Saint-Priest he was part of the Pôle Espoir (part of the structure of French Football showcasing young talent) in Dijon, and was signed by FC Sochaux-Montbéliard into their youth system in 2011.[1]
He made his debut for Sochaux on 31 July 2015, in the first round of the 2015–16 Ligue 2 season, coming on as a late substitute in the 0–0 draw at Clermont.[2] His full debut came later the year, on 15 October, in the 1–0 win over Evian Thonon Gaillard F.C.[3] On 20 January 2016 he signed his first professional contract with the club, committing himself to Sochaux until 2018.[4] His first league goal for the club came on 12 August 2016, in a 2–1 victory at Clermont.[5]
In the summer of 2019, at the end of his Sochaux contract, Robinet left the club and signed for Championnat National side FC Villefranche.[6] After scoring 9 goals in 22 league appearances, he moved to Stade Lavallois in May 2020, signing a one-year contract, with an option for two more should Laval secure promotion.[7]
After failing to seal promotion with Stade Lavallois, Robinet moved to LB Châteauroux on 1 July 2021 on a three-year deal.[8]
After a good season with Châteauroux in Championnat National, Robinet earned a move to Belgian Pro League side K.V. Oostende, who loaned him out to AS Nancy Lorraine for the 2022-2023 season.[9]
On 10 July 2023, Robinet joined newly-promoted Eredivisie side Almere City FC on a three-year deal.[10]
