Despite bouncing around the lower divisions in Brazil, Robinho impressed former Columbus Crew coach Gregg Berhalter who made the signing before he left the Crew for a reported $200,000[2][3] The move to Columbus became official on 18 January 2019.[4] Despite depth at the wing positions for Columbus, Robinho managed to make 17 appearances during the first half of the season.[1]

On 11 July 2019, Robinho was traded to Orlando City for $50,000 in Targeted Allocation Money (TAM).[5] He made his debut for the team on 18 July 2019, starting in a 1–1 draw away to Portland Timbers. After making a total of 12 appearances in two seasons, Robinho had his contract option declined as part of the club's end of season roster moves in December 2020.[6]
