What is Antonee Robinson’s Net Worth and Salary?
Antonee Robinson, an American professional soccer player, has an estimated net worth of $8 million.
Robinson is widely recognized for his role as a left-back for Fulham FC and the United States men’s national team. Known by the nickname “Jedi,” he has emerged as one of the top American defenders in the sport and one of the Premier League’s most dependable players at his position. His pace, endurance, defensive awareness, and ability to contribute in attack have made him essential for both club and country. His current salary at Fulham is estimated at about $4.25 million annually, putting him among the highest-paid players on the U.S. national team roster.
His rise in professional soccer has been anything but straightforward. Robinson came through Everton’s academy, battled significant knee injuries, and built his résumé in England’s Championship. At one point, a potential transfer to AC Milan fell apart after a heart irregularity was discovered. He ultimately rebuilt his career at Fulham, where he developed into a Premier League standout. By the mid-2020s, he had become one of the most important players for the USMNT and one of the most highly regarded American talents in Europe.
Early Life
Born on August 8, 1997, in Milton Keynes, England, Robinson was raised largely in Liverpool and trained within England’s soccer development system. His father, Marlon Robinson, is an American citizen who grew up in White Plains, New York, before relocating to England, while his mother is English. That family background made Robinson eligible to play internationally for the United States.
His well-known nickname, “Jedi,” goes back to his early childhood. A youth coach reportedly gave him the moniker when he was about five years old, inspired by Robinson’s love of “Star Wars” and a braided hairstyle that reminded people of a Jedi character. The name endured, and today teammates, coaches, broadcasters, and fans often use it as readily as his given name.
Youth Career
Robinson joined Everton’s youth academy at age 11, where he developed the technical and tactical skills that would shape his game. But his progress was nearly halted by injury. As a teenager, he underwent microfracture surgery on his knee, an ordeal that sidelined him for an entire year.
He eventually recovered and reestablished himself as one of Everton’s best academy players. In 2015, his performances at left-back earned him Everton’s U18 Player of the Season award and helped him secure his first professional contract.
Everton, Bolton, and Wigan
Although Robinson was under contract with Everton, he never made a senior first-team appearance for the club. Instead, he gained experience in the English Football League through loan spells.
His first major senior opportunity came with Bolton Wanderers during the 2017-18 season. He made 34 appearances and proved he could handle the physical demands of the Championship. He then joined Wigan Athletic, initially on loan, before the move was made permanent in 2019 for a fee of around $2.5 million.
At Wigan, Robinson became one of the most impressive fullbacks in the Championship. His speed, recovery defending, and ability to push forward made him a serious transfer target.
Failed AC Milan Transfer
In January 2020, Robinson appeared set for a major career breakthrough when AC Milan agreed to sign him in a deal reportedly worth around $13 million. He traveled to Italy for the medical, but the transfer collapsed on deadline day after doctors discovered an irregular heartbeat.
Robinson returned to Wigan and underwent a medical procedure to correct the issue. The failed move was a major disappointment, but it also may have helped save his career and health by catching the condition before it became a larger problem.
Fulham
After Wigan entered financial administration and was relegated, Fulham signed Robinson in 2020 by triggering a bargain release clause of roughly £2 million, equal to around $2.65 million. The move proved to be one of the best values in recent Premier League recruiting.
Robinson became a key part of Fulham’s 2021-22 Championship-winning team, helping the club earn promotion back to the Premier League. He was named to the EFL Championship Team of the Season and then carried that form into the top flight.
In the Premier League, Robinson developed into one of the league’s best left-backs. During the 2023-24 season, he led the Premier League with 81 interceptions and was named Fulham Player of the Season. His attacking output later reached another level. In the 2024-25 campaign, he recorded 10 assists from defense, the most of any defender in the league, sparking transfer interest from major clubs including Liverpool and Manchester United.
United States National Team
Robinson committed to the United States early in his career. He played for the U.S. U18 team in 2014 and made his senior national team debut on May 28, 2018.
He became a locked-in starter for the USMNT and played in every match for the United States at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He also helped the U.S. win three consecutive CONCACAF Nations League titles.
Robinson’s outstanding club and international form led to one of the biggest honors of his career when he was voted the 2024 U.S. Soccer Male Player of the Year. He won 55% of the weighted vote, beating out stars including Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun, and became the first defender to win the award since Oguchi Onyewu in 2006.
In June 2026, Robinson started at left-back for Team USA in its opening 4-1 World Cup victory over Paraguay at SoFi Stadium, earning his 55th cap.
Contracts, Salaries & Career Earnings
Robinson’s salary growth reflects his rise from academy prospect to Premier League standout. During his Everton and Wigan years, he earned lower-tier English wages, estimated between $65,000 and $330,000 annually.
After joining Fulham in 2020, his first contract with the club paid roughly £30,000 per week, or around $2 million gross per year. As Robinson became one of the Premier League’s most reliable left-backs, Fulham moved to secure him long-term.
His current Fulham extension runs through June 2028 and is estimated to pay roughly £60,000 per week. That equals approximately $4.25 million per year. Between Everton, Bolton, Wigan, Fulham, national team payments, and bonuses, Robinson has earned several million dollars in career salary, with the bulk of his earnings coming from his Premier League years at Fulham.
