Aidan Arthur Collins (born 18 October 1986) is an English retired footballer who played as a defender. He made over 25 appearances in the Football League and the Conference National League.
Collins began his career at Ipswich and made his debut against Derby County 4–1 in May 2003. [1] He collected a winners medal when Ipswich won the FA Youth Cup in April 2005 and made four league and cup appearances for the first-team in the 2005–06 season [2] before joining Wycombe Wanderers on loan in January 2006. [3] He made five appearances for Wycombe, scoring once, and then joined Stockport County on loan in March 2006, [4] where he started two games before being recalled by Ipswich a month later. [5]
Collins was not offered a new contract at Ipswich at the end of the 2005–06 season and joined Cambridge United in January 2007 for one month on a non-contract basis. [6] He started three games for Cambridge and agreed a contract until the end of the 2006–07 season [7] with manager Jimmy Quinn saying, "He's a fantastic addition to the team..." [7] In March 2007, he appeared with his brother, Jordan Collins in Cambridge's club-record 7–0 win over Weymouth, the first pair of siblings to appear for the club since November 1995. [8] [9] At the end of the season, he retired from the game due to injury [10] but later joined Chelmsford City F.C. in August 2007. [11] Assistant-manager Glenn Pennyfather said of him, "Aidan is a fantastic signing. He is young, strong, good in the air in both boxes and reads the game well with excellent distribution." [11]
Collins has an undergraduate degree from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a Masters and PhD from the University of York in history. [12]
