Stephen Philip Collis (born 18 March 1981) is an English former professional footballer who is currently the goalkeeping coach at York City.

Club career

[edit]

Barnet & Nottingham Forest

[edit]

Collis began his career in the youth team at Watford before moving to Barnet and then signing for Nottingham Forest in 2000.

Yeovil Town

[edit]

After failing to break into the first team at Nottingham Forest, Collis was invited down by Gary Johnson for a trial match at Yeovil Town and signed the same month on a free transfer. Collis went on to make over forty appearances for the South West outfit. During his stay at Yeovil, Collis spent short loan spells at Tiverton Town and Aldershot Town with failed talks also from Exeter City. Throughout his spell with Yeovil Collis acted as back-up to Chris Weale who was much in favour at the time.

Southend

[edit]

After leaving Yeovil, Collis signed a two-year contract in 2006 to become Southend's first signing ahead of the new season in The Championship, but was released by the club at the end of the 2007–08 season.[2]

Crewe Alexandra

[edit]

Following his spell at Southend, Collis signed for Crewe Alexandra as a replacement for departing goalkeeper Ben Williams.[3] His first game in goal saw him save a penalty. On 1 January 2010, Crewe agreed to terminate his contract after he had lost his place to on-loan keeper John Ruddy.

Bristol City

[edit]

In January 2010, Collis joined back up with Gary Johnson and signed a short-term deal for Football League Championship side Bristol City to take him to the end of the season.

Collis joined Torquay United on a seven-day emergency loan deal on 6 May 2010, for Torquay's final game of the season against Notts County. Collis was released by Bristol City at the end of the season.

Peterborough United

[edit]

Collis signed a short-term deal with Peterborough United on 6 August 2010. He was then released after his loan move to Northampton Town when Peterborough invested in Exeter City Keeper Paul Jones.

Macclesfield Town

[edit]

He signed for Macclesfield Town on 23 September 2011 on a short-term contract until January 2012 to provide cover for José Veiga.[4]

Buxton

[edit]

Collis was signed by Buxton[5] manager Martin McIntosh at the start of the 2012–13 season after participating in several pre-season matches for the Northern Premier League Premier Division side.

Rochdale

[edit]
Collis training with Rochdale in 2015

On 29 January 2013, Collis signed a short-term deal with Rochdale to take him to the summer.[6] "Goalkeeper Steve Collis was drafted in on Thursday as a replacement for Ben Smith who has departed the club in a bid to find regular football closer to home. Hill explains more: "It is difficult with the 'keeper situation because you're either in goal or you're on the bench. As a centre half you may be able to play full back or in midfield so you've got alternatives, but it's not very often that a goalkeeper will get replaced. It was an ideal situation to get Steve here as he's got experience."

Oldham Athletic were relegated from the football league at the end of the 2021–2022 season.[9]

On 5 June 2024, Collis joined Notts County as goalkeeper coach.[10]

In November 2025, Collis joined National League club York City as goalkeeping coach, reuniting with former Notts County manager Stuart Maynard.[11]
