Aaron Collins Early Life
Now aged 27 years, Aaron Collins, whose full name is Aaron Graham John Collins, was born on May 27, 1997, in Newport, Wales. His family name or last name is ‘Collins’, but since his parents’ names are not given, we could affirm his father’s name to be Mr. Collins and his mother’s name, Mrs. Collins.
Originally from the Newport part of Wales, Aaron has a Welsh nationality. His parents are clearly ethnically Welsh people and so Aaron’s ethnicity is Welsh. More than likely, he follows the Christian religion, but also, he isn’t as vocal about that part of his life. Meanwhile, he grew up along with his only sibling and brother, Lewis.

Aaron has a younger brother named Lewis Collins. Born Lewis Rhys Collins, on May 9, 2001, and now aged 23 years, his brother, Lewis, is also a professional footballer. He plays the position of a ‘forward’ for National League South club, Torquay United. He has the highest market value of €100k thousand, according to Transfermarkt profile. He plays number #10.
But, there’s an inside tea; Aaron and his brother, Lewis, during the May 18, 2021 games for the EFL League Two, playoff first leg match at Rodney Parade in their home city of Newport, Wales. The inside tea: They played on opposing sides. Aaron played as a ‘striker’ for Forest Green Rovers and his brother, Lewis, as a striker for Newport County.
Tell you what, it is on record that Lewis scored the 2nd goal, which made his team Newport have a 2–0 win against Forest Green in the match. However, Aaron was recorded to have scored in the second leg, which led to a 4-3 win for Forest Green.
Education
Aaron Collins, now 27 years old, started his high school career by joining the Bristol Rovers academy, where he stayed briefly, subsequently joining the Newport County academy. Oh, and the then-Newport manager, Jimmy Dack, described him as “a young George Boyd,” but alas, he almost left the academy due to lack of funds, as the academy initially did not offer him a high school scholarship.
Considering he had no funds to cover the costs of traveling each day for training, he took a job as a salesperson at McDonald’s in Malpas. Anyhoo, that didn’t last as the academy coach at the time, Michael Flynn, intervened and so Aaron was offered his first professional contract with the club.
