Early life

First getting involved in football at his primary school, the Antiguan was identified as a possible talent by coaches there, starting his football career.[1] Growing up, Allen saw Antiguan footballer Dave Carr play frequently for the national team.[1]

Career

Central FC

One of 12 players sent to Central FC on three-week contracts to help the club in its audacious attempt to win three CFU Club Championships in succession,[2][3] Allen refused to renew his contract with the club after claiming to have been living in poor conditions and not getting a monthly wage.[4]

International

Named on the Antigua and Barbuda Under-20 roster in 2016, the defender helped the team finish second behind Haiti to qualify for the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship,[1] getting a spot in the Caribbean qualifying Best Eleven.[1] Making his second senior national team cap against Estonia, Allen nervousness ahead of the game was alleviated by encouragement from the senior players and put up a solid performance.[5]
