Career

Club

Samuel began his career with Doc's Khelwalaas of his native Trinidad, where he played from 1998 to 2000. In 2000, he moved to one of the nation's largest clubs, San Juan Jabloteh, where he played the 2001 and 2002 seasons. He moved to Scotland in August 2002 when he was scouted by Simon Lindsay for Falkirk. He scored 16 goals in 42 appearances in his first season for the then-Scottish First Division side, including a first half hat-trick in a 4-0 Scottish Cup victory against Hearts. During his spell with Falkirk, he had an unsuccessful trial with Everton in the English Premier League. Samuel then moved to Scottish Premier League club Dundee United on 11 July 2003 for £100,000.

Samuel was not as prolific at Tannadice, scoring just 15 goals in total during his four seasons there. Despite scoring on his debut, Samuel managed just one more all season and failed to score at all during 2004–05. Samuel was part of the Dundee United match day squad which participated in the Scottish Cup final in season 2004–05 against Celtic. Despite losing that cup final 1–0, the team still qualified for the following season's UEFA Cup in which Samuel scored against Finnish team, MyPa, at Tannadice in the second leg of the qualifying round tie. Finding his form somewhat that particular season, he managed seven goals, including three in four games during December. In 2006–07, however, Samuel scored five times for United.^[3] Generally starting from the bench, he was frequently used as a right midfielder or as a forward. Samuel was told he was free to leave Dundee United at the end of the 2006–07 season,^[4] with interest shown by Major League Soccer side Toronto FC and Scottish First Division side, St Johnstone.^[5] Samuel subsequently played his last game for Dundee United in their final game of the 2006–07 season, a 0–0 draw at home to Motherwell.

After being released by Dundee United, media speculation increasingly linked him with moves to a team in the MLS and the aforementioned St Johnstone. Samuel eventually signed for MLS side Toronto FC, during which time he started every game for the Canadian club, making 19 appearances and scoring 3 goals for the injury-racked club in their inaugural season. He was released from Toronto FC in April 2008 due to personal reasons, with the club allowed a limited number of international players on their roster.

Samuel then signed a two-year deal with Scottish First Division side St Johnstone on 6 May 2008 where he proceeded to play no small part in the campaign that led to promotion back to the Scottish Premier League for the 2009–10 season.^[6]

Despite being injured for half of the season in St Johnstone's return to the SPL in 2009/2010, he still managed seven SPL goals plus one in the cup. He has signed a one-year contract for the 2010/2011 campaign, scoring 3 goals in 36 appearances over the season. He was released at the end of his contract in May 2011.

He was signed on 31 August 2011, the transfer deadline day, by Luton Town of the English Conference Premier,^[7] but left the club by mutual consent after playing one game.^[8]

On 20 January 2012, Samuel signed for Scottish Second Division club Arbroath until the end of the 2011–12 season.^[9] In the summer of 2012, Samuel moved to East Fife, another Second Division club until the end of the season.^[10]

On August 2013, Samuel had a successful trial with Junior outfit Sauchie and signed a contract for the 2013-2014 season.

In 2015 Collin became James Baird player/assistant manager at Guaya United. In February 2016, he joined North East Stars as a player-coach .^[11]

International

Samuel plays for the Trinidad and Tobago national team, having made his debut on 11 January 2002.^[12] He played for the team in the 2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup and was called up to the 2006 World Cup squad. He started the opening group match against Sweden and helped the team earn a goalless draw.
