After dropping down a division to join MK Dons from Bolton, Aaron Collins was expected to excel in Sky Bet League Two. Having been named Wanderers' Player of the Year in 2024/25 with 19 goals and five assists in 55 games, he arrived at MK Dons as the club-record signing.
However, his debut was marred by a shoulder injury that kept him out for six to eight weeks. Collins then suffered a hamstring injury and later an ankle ligament injury, but he has since recovered and is now focused on helping his team secure promotion. With two games left to play, MK Dons are on the cusp of ending their three-season stay in League Two, and Collins is eager to play a massive part in their promotion. Having experienced promotion with Bristol Rovers in 2021/22, Collins knows the feeling of achieving this goal and is determined to make the most of his time on the pitch.
