Yeovil Town have announced the death of club captain Lee Collins at the age of 32. The Vanarama National League side expressed their sorrow in a statement on the club website, confirming that Collins passed away on Wednesday.
Collins began his career at Wolverhampton Wanderers and went on to play for Hereford United, Port Vale, Barnsley, Shrewsbury Town, Northampton Town, Mansfield Town and Forest Green Rovers before joining Yeovil in 2019. He made 35 league appearances for the Somerset club, including eight this season. His final match was a 1-0 defeat at Stockport County on 6 February.
Yeovil’s scheduled fixture at Altrincham on Friday has been postponed as a mark of respect. The club urged the public to respect the family's privacy and said no further comment would be made at this time.
