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 10 goals in 2007–08 season.
He moved from Korona to Widzew Łódź in the next season and was one of the best strikers in Polish I. Liga scoring 20 goals in his first season for Widzew. The club with Robak on board won a promotion to Ekstraklasa the next season and in-form Robak got a call-up to the Poland national team.
In the middle of the season he moved to Konyaspor in Turkey.[1] After the club was relegated in the 2011–12 season he moved to another team in Turkey - Mersin Idman Yurdu, where he played just for the half of the season.
Robak came back to Poland and signed a contract with Piast Gliwice, but stayed there only till the end of the season.[2] 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 managed to play only in 17 leagues matches.
Before the 2015–16 season he moved to Lech Poznań and signed a two-year contract. In the 2016–17 season he scored 18 goals in Ekstraklasa and for the second time he won the top goalscorer title in Ekstraklasa.
In 2017 he signed a contract with Śląsk Wrocław and on 30 April 2018 Robak scored his 100th goal in Ekstraklasa.
In the 2019–20 season Robak surprisingly signed a contract with Widzew Łódź and moved to Polish II. Liga.[3] The team managed to win a promotion with him as team captain.
