Lee Collins (born September 28 1988 in Telford, Shropshire) is an English footballer, currently playing for Port Vale, on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is a defender who can play either centre-back or full-back.

Career

Collins was promoted to Wolves' first team squad for the first time in January 2007 and has been on the bench a number of times since, but has never made an appearance. Instead, he plays most regularly for the club at reserve level and with the Under-18s, for whom he is captain.

He joined Hereford United on November 14 2007 on an initial month's loan, and made his league debut on November 17, 2007 in a 3-2 win at Stockport County. After impressing, his loan was extended to the end of the season, during which Hereford won promotion from League Two.

He is currently on loan at League Two Port Vale until 31 January 2009. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/port_vale/7534933.stm Collins makes Valiants loan move] BBC Sport, 31 July 2008]
