John Sheridan backs Aaron Collins to give Notts County pace

Notts County manager John Sheridan has claimed that new loan signing Aaron Collins will provide pace in attack and expects him to challenge for a first-team place right away.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers forward is on loan until January and he will go straight into the squad for Saturday's game against Grimsby Town at Meadow Lane.

"He's a young player and has a lot of potential," Sheridan told reporters.

"He's quick and can play up front or play wide right.

"He will be really good on our big pitch. He's got good energy.

"Aaron's still learning, but he is somebody who can give us pace and he will come in and compete with what we've already got."

Collins will be reunited with Sheridan for a second time having played under him at Newport County, who sold him to Wolves for £100,000 earlier this year.
