Wolves defender Nathan Collins: Lage style convinced me about move

Wolves defender Nathan Collins has revealed their playing style under Bruno Lage played a part in his decision to join the club.

The defender completed his move from Burnley earlier in the week, and has enjoyed a rapid integration into the group during the first-team's pre-season training camp in Alicante.

Collins told the club's website: “There was a lot to it. I played against Wolves twice last season and saw the style of play, and I think it complements my style of play. I saw the team and saw there was something to build on, and I think there's something to chase as a team. We have high aspirations and I'm looking forward to the season.

“When I played them at Molineux, that was tough. They played us off the park really. It was a different game when we played them at home, but they were a tough team and we probably didn't deserve to win, but we got a result somehow.

"Tough team to play against and on their day they're a really good team."
