Toby has missed the last few Reds games due to injury, but has made a breakthrough this season, appearing in the senior side for the first time and catching the eye during recent outings against Rangers and Fulham.
We caught up with Collyer recently at The Cliff, our former training ground, where the 21-year-old was helping to coach youngsters from our Under-8s group.
The central midfielder was also shown around the former first-team building at the Lower Broughton site, where Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson honed some of the club’s greatest-ever players and teams.
Retreading his own path from Brighton’s youth ranks to starting big European games at Old Trafford, Collyer recalled how Fletcher had welcomed him on his first day, back in 2022.
