Georgie Wilson Welcome Collins (born 9 March 1985) is a Honduran professional footballer who plays as a striker for Parrillas One.[2]
Welcome is the only player to debut with the national side playing in the second level of Honduras.
Club career
[edit]Welcome started his career at Arsenal FC (Roatan) and was snapped up by Honduran giant F.C. Motagua in 2008.[3]
On 1 August 2010, Welcome travelled to Glasgow to begin a week-long unsuccessful trial with Scottish champions Rangers.[4]
In January 2011, Welcome was sent to AS Monaco on loan from Motagua.[5]
After an unsuccessful stint in Monaco, Welcome was signed by Mexican league club Atlas to a one-year contract. The transfer was announced on 20 June 2011.[6] He then returned to Honduras, where he signed for Marathon ahead of the 2012 Clausura.[7]
In December 2013, Platense confirmed Welcome would join them as their new striker.[8]
In June 2015, Welcome signed with I-League side Mohun Bagan.[9]
International career
[edit]A tall, lanky striker, Welcome was part of the Honduran U-23 team that qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games. Because of his goal in the 108th minute of the match, Honduras became CONCACAF Pre-Olympic champions after beating the host country, the United States, 1–0.[10]
He made his debut for the full national side on 22 May 2008 in a friendly against Belize where he scored one of the two goals to win. Welcome scored a magnificent goal for the Honduras national football team in a friendly match against Latvia, a goal that turned out to be the game-winner for the Catrachos.
As of February 2013, he has earned a total of 31 caps, scoring 4 goals. He has represented his country in 4 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[11] and played at the 2011[12] and 2013 Copa Centroamericana[13] as well as at the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup[14] but most prominently, in Honduras' all three games at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
