Samuel Christopher Collins (born 1 June 1989) is an English former professional footballer who played as a winger for Milton Keynes Dons, Kettering Town, Hendon, Wivenhoe Town, Maidenhead United, AFC Hornchurch, Concord Rangers, East Thurrock United, and Cheshunt.

Playing career

[edit]

Collins began his career at Milton Keynes Dons, and made his first-team debut on 1 November 2006, coming on as an 18th-minute substitute for Sean O'Hanlon in a 4–1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Trophy.[1] On 22 November 2007, he joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Hendon on loan, having already completed a loan spell at Kettering Town.[2] He was released in May 2008.[3]

He scored a total of 18 goals in 161 appearances for Concord.[4] He scored in the 2014 Essex Senior Cup final, as Concord beat Braintree Town 2–1, and was voted the club's Player of the Season for 2013–14.[5] Speaking in June 2014, after securing Collins to a new contract, Rangers manager Danny Cowley said he was "irreplaceable".[5]

Management career

[edit]

Collins was appointed first team manager of Concord Rangers FC on the 19th May 2023, and will lead them for his first season in the Isthmian Premier Division 2023/2024. Unfortunately he won only 5 of his league games and ensured Concord achieved the rare feat of two relegations in two seasons.
