Born in Trinidad, Collin’s football career began in 1998 with local side Doc's Khelwalaas and a move to San Juan Jabloteh followed where he spent two productive years. Collin came to Scotland for the start of the 2002/2003 season and signed for Falkirk and he netted 16 league goals for the then-First Division side – form which prompted Dundee United to invest £100,000 to secure his signature. Collin spent four seasons at Tannadice but couldn’t recapture the regular goalscoring form that had seen him make a success of his inaugural season in Scotland although he was never completely out of the picture. At the end of the 2006/2007 season Collin was released by United and although the then Saints manager Owen Coyle made note of his availability, Collin headed to Major League Soccer where he signed for Toronto FC. A regular for the side in their inaugural season, Collin was released by the MLS side at his request and he signed for Saints in May 2008. A niggling injury restricted his training in the build-up to the 08/09 season but he grabbed a debut goal in the opening day Challenge Cup defeat from Ross County and he followed that up with further goals against the Victoria Park side in league games in both Dingwall and Perth. In an out of the side for much of the season, Collin showed what he is capable of with a sublime finish for the match winning goal against Livingston on 14th February as saints powered their way to the First Division title. Injury hampered his season in the SPL in 2009/2010 although he still managed seven SPL goals plus one in the cup and with his injury concerns hopefully behind him he has signed a one year deal for the 2010/2011 campaign to see what he can achieve when fully fit. Collin's home jersey is kindly sponsored by Alastair and Blair Christie and his away jersey by the Granada Saints Supporters. Player Sponsorship costs £300 for the season.
