Collin ready for battle

NEW goalkeeper Adam Collin says Rotherham United can expect plenty of physical battles in League One.

The 28-year-old recruit arrives from Carlisle United, where he clocked up many games in the third tier and played in a couple of Wembley finals.

Released by Carlisle due to cash constraints at Brunton Park, he is now ready for  another stab at a league he is all too familiar with.

"League One is very physical," he told the Advertiser. "MK Dons pass it around but a lot of the teams are quite direct. They press high up the pitch and prefer to play their football in the opposition half. It's a tough, tough league."

Collin (28) will battle it out with Scott Shearer for the goalkeeper's jersey after signing a two-year deal.

"Rotherham United is a club on the up and a progression in my career," he added.
