Collins: Mee and Frank convinced me about Brentford

Nathan Collins admits he already feels "at home" with Brentford.

The defender made the move earlier this summer from Wolves.

"When I talked to the manager [Thomas Frank], he sold me it massively," said Collins in Brentford's matchday programme.

He knew what I needed to do to get better, and he knew what I was good at. He told me he'll make me a better player and I trust him. To feel wanted is a nice thing.

I play my best football when I'm on the front foot, aggressive and ready to go. When I play conservative, I'm not at my best. I think that's what the manager has seen and it's a good match."

He also revealed: Ben [Mee] was texting me.

I asked him a few questions and he couldn't talk highly enough of the club.

I'd played with Ben and I trust him, so I believed everything he said. I learnt so much from him at Burnley he's a legend.

Even before that, I had something pushing me this way. Maybe it's just the way the club is. It's a really hard-working club, a humble club, and it comes from a good place. That's what I am, that's what my family is, and that's what made me feel comfortable."
