Collin kept clean sheets in each of his first four matches to establish himself as first choice goalkeeper. He was sent off in 1–0 away defeat at Hyde United in April 2005, for handball outside the penalty area. His suspension was overturned after a video proved he was inside the area, he was the first Workington player to have a suspension quashed in such a manner.
