Background

Allan was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

He played his junior rugby league for Logan Brothers Rugby League Football Club.

Career

In 2018 he represented the Australian Prime Minister's XIII against Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby.

Allan made his first grade debut in Round 1 of the 2019 NRL season for South Sydney against the Sydney Roosters at the Sydney Cricket Ground.[2] Two weeks later in Round 3, Allan scored his first try in the top grade as Souths defeated the Gold Coast 28–20 at ANZ Stadium.[3]

Allan made a total of 19 appearances in the 2019 NRL season as South Sydney reached the preliminary final before being defeated by the Canberra Raiders 16–10 at Canberra Stadium. Allan made a crucial error during the first half of the game when he lost the ball on his own goal line which enabled Canberra player Jarrod Croker to score a try.[4][5]

Allan made his first start of the 2020 NRL season in round 10 against Newcastle as Souths lost the match 20-18 at Bankwest Stadium.[6]

In round 16 of the 2020 NRL season, Allan scored his first try of the year as Souths defeated Parramatta 38-0 at Bankwest Stadium.[7]

In round 20 of the 2020 NRL season, Allan scored a try in South Sydney's 60-8 victory over bitter rivals the Sydney Roosters. In the second half, Allan had crossed over for what would have been his second try but instead passed the ball to teammate Alex Johnston despite standing in the oppositions in-goal area.[8]

Allan played a total of 10 games for South Sydney in the 2020 NRL season scoring five tries. He played in all three of South Sydney's 2020 finals matches including their preliminary final loss to Penrith.[9]

Allan was selected by Queensland for the 2020 State of Origin series. He made his debut for Queensland in Game 3 where he was sent to the sin bin for a professional foul on New South Wales player Josh Addo-Carr in the dying minutes. The incident had no bearing on the final score however as Queensland stunned New South Wales winning the series 2-1.

On 11 January 2021, it was announced that he had signed a three year deal with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs starting in 2021. [10]
