Robson Bambu, born 12 November 1997 in Brazil, is a robust defender for SC Braga, primarily playing centre-back. Standing at 6 feet (1.85m) tall, and tipping the scales at 11st 4lb (72kg), Bambu is a imposing figure in defence. He proudly wears the number 3 jersey.
As of now, Bambu's market value is estimated to be around £2.6m, as reported by Transfermarkt.
In January 2015, Bambu began his professional football journey with Santos FC in Brazil's top-flight division, Série A. His debut season in 2018 saw him making nine appearances in senior league matches.
The following year, 2019, saw Bambu moving from Santos to Athletico Paranaense, a club competing in Brazil's Série B. Bambu was featured in eight league matches that season.
In July 2020, Bambu made the transatlantic leap to French Ligue 1, joining Nice for a hefty fee of approximately £7.2m. The 2020-2021 season saw him making 15 appearances for the French side in league matches.
Utilising the loan system, Bambu returned to his homeland in January 2022, joining Corinthians in the Série A. He had seven appearances in league matches that season.
In January 2023, still on loan from Nice, Bambu switched teams, this time joining Vasco da Gama, another club in Série A. During the 2023 season, Bambu featured in 18 league matches for his new club.
January 2024 saw Bambu on the move again, continuing his stint under the loan system, but this time to Arouca, Portugal. The 2023-2024 season saw Bambu step onto the pitch ten times for the club in league matches.
Finally in July 2024, he ended his series of loan spells, this time making a permanent move from Nice to SC Braga in Portugal for a reported £1m. In his first season (2024-2025) with Braga, Bambu made 15 appearances, even adding a goal to his name. Currently in the 2025-2026 season, Bambu has yet to feature for Braga's first team in league matches.
Aside from domestic performances, Bambu did not miss making his stamp in European competitions, starting in the Europa League Qualifiers 2025 - 2026 for SC Braga.
