HUDDERSFIELD Town have let Michael Collins speak to Scunthorpe United boss Nigel Adkins. Adkins, who kept the Iron in the Championship last season, confirmed Collins is a target - and has been for a long time.
He told the Scunthorpe Telegraph: "I got permission from Huddersfield manager Lee Clark to speak with Michael – and I have now done that.
"He is a player we tried to sign a couple of years ago when we brought in David Mirfin from there, but the manager then, Stan Ternent, would not let us.
"Michael is a player who I feel would fit perfectly into the culture we have here at Glanford Park.
"He is six feet one inch tall, is a great athlete and has the versatility to fit into several different roles.
"He can play just behind the front man and loves to score goals.
"He is a player I would love to bring here to Scunthorpe but we are still a long, long way from a deal being reached."
Adkins is likely to have further talks with Collins next week to try to push through the transfer, which has seen a fee of £50,000 mentioned.
