'''Stephen Philip Collis''' (born 18 March 1981) is an English former professional [footballer](/source/association_football) who is currently the goalkeeping coach at [York City](/source/York_City_F.C.).

==Club career==
===Barnet & Nottingham Forest===

Collis began his career in the youth team at [Watford](/source/Watford_F.C.) before moving to [Barnet](/source/Barnet_F.C) and then signing for [Nottingham Forest](/source/Nottingham_Forest_F.C.) in 2000.

===Yeovil Town===

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](/source/Yeovil_Town_F.C.) 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](/source/Tiverton_Town_F.C.) and [Aldershot Town](/source/Aldershot_Town_F.C.) with failed talks also from [Exeter City](/source/Exeter_City_FC). Throughout his spell with Yeovil Collis acted as back-up to Chris Weale who was much in favour at the time.

===Southend===

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](/source/EFL_Championship), but was released by the club at the end of the [2007–08 season](/source/2007%E2%80%9308_in_English_football).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/southend_utd/7409180.stm|title=Five players shown Southend exit|date=19 May 2008|access-date=20 May 2008|publisher=BBC Sport}}</ref>

===Crewe Alexandra===
Following his spell at Southend, Collis signed for [Crewe Alexandra](/source/Crewe_Alexandra) as a replacement for departing [goalkeeper](/source/Goalkeeper_(association_football)) [Ben Williams](/source/Ben_Williams_(footballer%2C_born_1982)).<ref name="BBCa">{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/crewe_alexandra/7458342.stm|title=Collis signs two-year Crewe deal|date=1 July 2008|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=1 July 2008}}</ref> 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](/source/John_Ruddy).

===Bristol City===
In January 2010, Collis joined back up with Gary Johnson and signed a short-term deal for [Football League Championship](/source/Football_League_Championship) side [Bristol City](/source/Bristol_City) to take him to the end of the season.

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

===Peterborough United===

Collis signed a short-term deal with [Peterborough United](/source/Peterborough_United_F.C.) on 6 August 2010. He was then released after his loan move to [Northampton Town](/source/Northampton_Town_F.C.) when Peterborough invested in [Exeter City](/source/Exeter_City_F.C.) Keeper [Paul Jones](/source/Paul_Jones_(footballer_born_1986)).

===Macclesfield Town===
He signed for [Macclesfield Town](/source/Macclesfield_Town_F.C.) on 23 September 2011 on a short-term contract until January 2012 to provide cover for [José Veiga](/source/Jos%C3%A9_Veiga_(footballer)).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/15020703|title=Goalkeeper Steve Collis signs Macclesfield Town deal|date=23 September 2011|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=23 September 2011}}</ref>

===Buxton===
Collis was signed by Buxton<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.non-league-bets.co.uk/keeper-steve-collis-joins-buxton-fc/|title=Keeper Steve Collis Joins Buxton|date=15 August 2012|accessdate=15 August 2012|publisher=Non League Bets}}</ref> 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](/source/Northern_Premier_League_Premier_Division) side.

===Rochdale===
On 29 January 2013 Steve Collis signed a short-term deal with Rochdale to take him to the summer.<ref>{{cite web |title=Collis joins Rochdale on a two-year deal |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/27476200 |website=BBC Sport |date=19 May 2014 }}</ref> "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."
