Collins started out at Wolves but did not make any appearances for the Molineux outfit before moves to Port Vale, Northampton, Mansfield and Forest Green Rovers.
He also helped Hereford United to promotion in 2007/08 and his move to Yeovil in 2019 was the first time he had dropped out of the Football League.
Collins arrived at Mansfield in June 2015, playing 72 games for the club over a two year period.
His final game for Yeovil was in a defeat at Stockport in February, where Collins was shown a late red card.
