Aurélien Collin (born 8 March 1986 in Enghien-les-Bains) is a French footballer currently without a club, after being released by Scottish Premier League club Gretna. Collin was among several players who were made redundant by Gretna on 26 March 2008.[1]
[edit] Career
Collin joined Gretna from Spanish La Liga club Mallorca in August 2007, receiving international clearance to play for the club on 14 August. He signed a two year contract with the club.[2] He made his debut for the club in a 1-1 draw with Hearts on 18 August.[3] He scored an own goal in a 4-0 defeat against Rangers on 1 September 2007 at Ibrox Stadium. [4]
Following his release by Gretna, Collin spent a week on trial with English Championship club Blackpool, having also been on trial with fellow Championship clubs, Preston North End,[1] and later, Wolves.[5] However, none of these trials have led to a permanent deal being offered.
