Speaking to the club’s official website, Irons said: “‘We are really pleased to have brought Thomas into the squad, its a really good bit of business for the club, I am sure he will improve us.

"Collins is a energetic and dynamic attacking player who has shown he is capable both as a wide attacker in a three or as part of a two man strike force.

"We had some good reports from his time at BSC and have carried out some further work covering this season.

"He will add an energy and intensity to our play and will bring more goals into the team.
