“Both of these signings will typify the values and heritage of this city,” said Jamie Sherwood, ECFC men’s head coach. “They have come into training camp and have brought a high level of intensity and honest hard work.”
Collins is a 22-year-old Canadian midfielder originally from Essex, England who played within the Ottawa Fury organization for six years. He signed with Nipissing University following his Ottawa tenure and has been a constant presence with the Nipissing Lakers.
He won Rookie of the Year with the Lakers, was named Nipissing Men’s Soccer MVP and has been named an Ontario University Athletics (OUA) All-Star. In the 2021 OUA season, he had four goals and five assists in ten matches. Collins helped lead the Lakers to the OUA Playoffs in his Rookie season where they fell at the quarterfinals stage.
“After I heard about Electric City FC, I immediately knew I wanted to be a part of this developing project and help bring a top-level soccer to Peterborough,” said Collins. “The fans of Electric City FC can expect a lot out of me as a player as I am dedicated to both the sport and the club and I am passionate about bringing success to the team.”
The men’s team has also added midfielder Tomas Alvarez from London, Ont. The midfielder joins ECFC after a successful three-year stint with FC London.
