Sam Collins (born June 05, 1977 in Pontefract) is a professional footballer currently playing for Hull City in England's Football League Championship.
Collins is a defender who was signed on loan for Hull City on November 04, 2005 by then manager Peter Taylor from Port Vale, prior to a permanent transfer for a fee of £65,000 in the January transfer window. Team-mate Billy Paynter also made the switch to the Tigers at the same time.
Collins had played 135 league games for Port Vale and was named their Player Of The Year in the 2002-03 season, later becoming the team captain. He also captained Hull City on several occasions, but after only 17 league games for the Tigers he joined a lengthy list of team-mates on the treatment table, suffering a knee injury in a February game at Millwall, which ruled him out for the remainder of the 2005-06 season.
His brother, Simon, is also a professional footballer.
