Playing career

Controversy

It was reported that a fight began at the Rydges Hotel in Parramatta after Alley-Tovio knocked over a tray of drinks. After a fight broke out, Alley-Tovio was ejected out of the hotel by security staff. He then allegedly ran across James Ruse Drive, dodging traffic, and got into a car which was pulled over with the keys in the ignition, but unoccupied. The car was later dumped outside Maroubra police station with the keys in the ignition. Alley-Tovio was suspended by his club Canterbury who he was playing with at the time and was subsequently released.^[7]
