Born in Utrecht of Surinamese descent, Colin started his professional career at PSV Eindhoven – after arriving in the club's youth system at the age of seven – having signed from amateurs HMS.
He was re-instated to the team at the start of the 2006–07 season and ultimately retained his status; however, when new club manager Peter Grant took over, he lost his place to versatile midfielder Andy Hughes.
On the 30th the move was finalised for a fee of €100,000,[3] and made his official debut for the Amsterdam team in the Supercup 1–0 defeat of former club PSV, winning his second career trophy.
However, after having appeared sparingly during the campaign, Colin moved to La Liga team Sporting de Gijón in August 2008, signing a one-year link.
[7] Colin represented the Netherlands the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship, scoring one goal in an eventual group stage exit in Argentina.
