Club career

[edit | edit source]

Born in Worthing, Collyer began his career in Brighton & Hove Albion's youth system at the under-12 level. At the age of 15, he made his under-18s debut. Collyer became a key player for the team in the 2020–21 season, as Brighton finished third in Premier League South and won the Premier League under-17s Cup. Soon after his 17th birthday, Collyer made his under-23s debut, playing the full 90-minute match against Tottenham Hotspur in January 2021.[5]

Manchester United

[edit | edit source]

In March 2022, he joined the Manchester United Academy.[6] United signed him on a three-and-a-half-year deal after he turned down a new contract with Brighton & Hove Albion. He had impressed during his trial with United the previous month.[7] During his signing, Collyer's former Brighton under-18 coach Mark Beard praised his work ethic, running ability, and discipline.[8] He made a strong impression during his first season, playing for United in the under-21 team in Premier League 2 and appearing twice against the first-team side in the EFL Trophy. He also made three appearances for United's U21.[3]

Collyer was included in Manchester United's first-team's opening pre-season squad to face Leeds United on 12 July 2023 in Oslo, but did not make it onto the pitch.[3][9] He made his first-team debut in the starting eleven as Manchester United lost to Wrexham 3–1 on 26 July 2023 in San Diego, California on their USA Tour pre-season.[10] Collyer made his competitive debut during the 2024 FA Community Shield against Manchester City, coming on as a substitute in the 59th minute. He made his Premier League debut on 1 September 2024, coming on as a half-time substitute for Casemiro in a 3–0 home defeat to Liverpool at Old Trafford.[11] He also made his FA Cup debut on 12 January 2025, coming on as a substitute for Kobbie Mainoo in extra time in an away win against Arsenal with 5–3 on penalties.[12] On 23 January 2025, Collyer made his Europa League debut in a 2–1 victory over Rangers. His performance earned him praise from Manchester United teammate and captain Bruno Fernandes. [13][14] On 26 January 2025, Collyer came off the bench in a Premier League match against Fulham at Craven Cottage, and cleared the ball off the line, his performance earning further praise from teammates and the public audience.[15]

West Bromwich Albion (loan)

[edit | edit source]

On 15 August 2025, Collyer joined West Bromwich Albion on a season-long loan.[16][17] He made his debut the following day, in a 3–2 win against Wrexham.[18]

At youth international level, he captained England at under-16 and under-17 levels.[5] He made eight appearances for the under-16 team.[19]
