Club career
Robak's first club in Ekstraklasa was Korona Kielce, where he made his debut on 25 March 2006. In the next season, he became the first striker of Korona and scored ten goals in the 2007–08 season.
He moved from Korona to Widzew Łódź in the next season and was one of the best strikers in I liga, scoring 20 goals in his first season with the club. Widzew, with Robak on board, won promotion to Ekstraklasa the next season, and the in-form Robak received a call-up to the Poland national team.
In the middle of the 2010–11 season, he moved to Konyaspor in Turkey.[2] After the club was relegated in the 2011–12 season, he moved to Mersin İdmanyurdu, where he played just for the half of the season.
Robak returned to Poland and signed a contract with Piast Gliwice.[3] On 13 August 2013, Robak moved to Pogoń Szczecin and was the top goalscorer in Ekstraklasa with 22 goals in the 2013–14 season. His last season in Pogoń was full of injuries and Robak only managed 17 leagues appearances.
Before the 2015–16 season, he moved to defending champions Lech Poznań on a two-year contract. In the 2016–17 season, he scored 18 league goals and for the second time was crowned the top scorer in Ekstraklasa, alongside Marco Paixão.
In 2017, he signed a contract with Śląsk Wrocław. On 30 April 2018, Robak scored his 100th goal in Ekstraklasa.
In the 2019–20 season, Robak made a surprise return to Widzew, at the time playing in the Polish third division.[4] The team managed to win a promotion with him as team captain. Robak left the club in the summer of 2021.[5] In December 2022, Robak announced his retirement from professional football.[6]
On 18 February 2025, Robak began his career in futsal, joining Polish top division club FC Toruń on a deal until the end of the season.[7]
