Career & Clubs

Early career

Born in Fort Huachuca, Arizona to a Puerto Rican father and a Korean mother, Robles got his start at the prestigious Tucson Soccer Academy, training under the guidance of coach Wolfgang Weber. From 2003 to 2006, Robles played for the University of Portland Pilots, making a school-record 346 saves during his college career. He also played two seasons for the Boulder Rapids Reserve in the USL Premier Development League.

Professional career

1. FC Kaiserslautern

Robles was drafted by Major League Soccer club D.C. United with the 50th overall selection in the 2007 MLS SuperDraft. However, he passed up MLS and signed instead with German side Kaiserslautern in January 2007. Robles made his league debut on October 17, 2008, against Rot Weiss Ahlen. He was thrust into the starting role due to an injury to incumbent starter Tobias Sippel and outperformed fellow backup and German youth international Kevin Trapp. In his first season of German soccer he finished the season with sixteen games played and conceded seventeen goals. Robles missed much of the summer training with Kaiserslautern – which had recently hired a new manager, Marco Kurz – because of his inclusion in the United States squad at the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup. As a result, he entered the 2009–10 season as the backup once again.

Karlsruher SC

After making few appearances in 2009–10, which saw Kaiserslautern promoted for the 2010–11 Fußball-Bundesliga season, Robles signed a two-year deal with 2. Fußball-Bundesliga club Karlsruher SC. In his first year with Karlsruhe he appeared in twenty-three games as the club's starting goalkeeper. In 2011–12, he appeared in five league matches and was released by the club at the end of the season.

New York Red Bulls

On August 8, 2012, Robles was acquired by the New York Red Bulls through Major League Soccer's Allocation Process. Before signing with the club, Robles contemplated retiring from…

International career

In May 2009, Robles was invited to a May 26 – June 1 senior men's national team training camp, his first camp with the full national team, although he was not named to the official roster for the June 3 and 6 World Cup qualifying matches. A week after the conclusion of his first camp, Robles was named to the United States roster for the Confederations Cup. On July 11, 2009, Robles made his debut with the United States against Haiti in the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, a game which ended drawn 2–2. Robles made his return to the United States national team with a 3–2 friendly win against Iceland on January 31, 2016. He would make his third cap in a 1–0 friendly win against Jamaica on February 3, 2017, but was subbed out after 45 minutes.
