Collins can't wait to hear the Kenilworth Road roar

The forward was on target at the stadium last term, although this time it was putting former club Crawley Town into 1-0 lead.

That was met with virtual silence, but the noise when Luton came back to equalise and then win 2-1 through Danny Hylton’s double certainly stayed with the front man.

He said: “Kenilworth Road is always an exciting ground to go to.

“I’ve had a lot of good games against Luton and was fortunate enough to score twice against them last season so maybe that stuck in the gaffer’s head.

“Once they were interested, I knew from previous games that it would be a great place to play football.

“When they equalised last year and when they went 2-1 up, the place erupted.

“So I’m really excited to hopefully that be the same for me when I can get some goals at Kenilworth Road.”

The Town fans have certainly expressed their excitement at Collins’ arrival on Twitter and Facebook, which the ex-Red Devil, who scored in the 2-1 win over Bedford Town on Saturday was thrilled to hear.

He added: “I’m not on any social media, so I wouldn’t have seen it, but that’s really pleasing as it’s always half the battle getting the fans on side.

“What I can say is I’ll work as hard as I can for the team and hopefully score as many goals as I can, so hopefully that will please the fans even more.”
