On 8 August 2011, after only seven league games with Levante, Robusté left the club^[3] and returned to level two, signing for Xerez CD late into the month.

International career

Robusté was captain of the Spanish U-19 team that won the 2004 UEFA European Championship. He also represented the nation at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.
