Collins Shortlisted For Trophy Award

Aaron Collins kick celebration Fleetwood

Man of the moment Aaron Collins has been nominated for the Player of the Round prize in the Vertu (EFL) Trophy.

The Wanderers’ frontman – Saturday’s match-winner with his injury-time strike against Blackpool – is one of four players on the shortlist for the award from the group stage of the competition.

Collins played a key role in helping the Whites top Group D, with three goals in three games.

The Welshman scored his first in a 3-2 win at Barrow before providing the assist with a lovely cross for Victor Adeboyejo to head Wanderers’ equaliser in their second game against Aston Villa.

Collins then got both goals – including a superb long-range strike and a last-minute winner – in Wanderers’ 2-1 win over Fleetwood Town which earned Ian Evatt’s men a home tie against Huddersfield Town in the last-32. 

The other players nominated for the award are Wycombe’s Beryly Lubala, Miles Leaburn of Charlton Athletic and Rotherham forward Jordan Hugill.
