Early life

Collard is an Indigenous Australian.

He was raised in Perth, attending South Thornlie Primary School and Lynwood Senior High School. [1]

Collard has since done amazing work in the community and is regarded as a mentor to youths, especially those from indigenous backgrounds.

Club career

Collard made his competitive debut for Perth as a substitute in a win over Newcastle Jets in the 2015 FFA Cup. [1] He made his A-League debut for the club against Adelaide United on 9 January 2020. [1] In his second A-League appearance, one week later, Collard was sent off in the 63rd minute. [2]

After failing to secure a professional contract with Perth, Collard joined Tasmanian side Olympia on 5 March 2016. [3] Collard left the club in April 2016, to move to Melbourne. [4]

Collard joined National Premier Leagues Victoria side Oakleigh Cannons in May 2016. [5]

Outside football

Before playing for Perth Glory, Collard worked as a plumber. [6]

In 2017, Collard undertook a Western Australia Police cadetship for Indigenous Australians. [7]

In 2018 on June 12th, an incident arose whilst Collard was playing for Gosnells City. Collard was training with the team and practicing shots on goal while warming up and during a particularly long shot on goal, Collards genitalia became exposed from the bottom of his training shorts.

Local photographer Michael Oxlong took several photographs capturing Collards genitals and was later quoted as saying “If it were any longer he would’ve tripped on it”

Oxlong attempted to sell the photos but due to the decline in Collards footballing career he was unable to generate any interest and the images were later leaked online.

Collard was spoken to about the incident the following week and told local reporters that he had forgotten to put on underwear that day and had instead been wearing boxer shorts. Collard stated “My budoo long” in reference to his generously sized appendage.
