Neill Collins (born September 2, 1983 in Troon) is a football defender, he currently plays for Wolves.
Beginning his career for Scottish amateur club, Queen's Park F.C., he moved to Dumbarton F.C. after two seasons. Sunderland signed Collins from Dumbarton in August 2004, for a fee of £25,000.
He was loaned to Hartlepool United for the first half of the 2005-06 season where he made 24 appearances, before returning to Sunderland in the new year. Collins made 2 appearances for the Black Cats that season - both in the FA Cup - although before being sent out on loan again, this time to Football League Championship promotion hopefuls Sheffield United. Collins made a further 2 appearances for the Blades before being re-called by new Sunderland caretaker boss Kevin Ball.
After injuries to team-mates Stephen Wright and Nyron Nosworthy, Collins found himself selected out of position at right-back under new Sunderland boss Roy Keane, and Collins eventually found himself sent out on loan once again, this time to former boss Mick McCarthy's Wolves. This move was made permanent in January 2007, when Wolves agreed a fee of £150,000 with Sunderland.
