Playing career

Allen began his career at Brentford joining the club in 2006 from Reading, whilst his father was first-team manager at Griffin Park. [2] Allen progressed into the youth team but was not offered a professional contract at the end of his two-year scholarship. During the summer he spent sometime at a Swedish fourth division club Ånge IF. After that Allen joined Dagenham & Redbridge youth academy, playing for Billericay Town on dual-registration, [3] before signing at Notts County for the start of the 2011–12 season. He made his debut in a 2–0 defeat to Preston North End at Deepdale on 27 August 2011, before he was replaced by Alan Judge after 67 minutes. [4]

In May 2012 he was released by the club, along with 12 other players. [5] Two months later he was signed by Football League Two side Gillingham on an initial one-year deal, with the option of extending for a further season. He made his debut for Gillingham on 18 August in 3–1 win against Bradford City.

On 31 October 2013 Allen was loaned to Tamworth. [6]

On 14 February 2014, Allen had his contract at Gillingham cancelled by mutual consent. [7] The following month he signed for Margate of the Isthmian League Premier Division. [8]

On 4 June 2015, Allen left Margate. [9]

Allen signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Cray Wanderers in the summer of 2019. [10]
