Career

York City

Born in York, North Yorkshire, Allan joined the youth system of hometown club York City in 2002 at the age of eight.[3] He signed for Northern Premier League Division One South side Hucknall Town on loan in October 2011, making his only appearance as a substitute against Stamford before returning to York in November.[4][5] While still a second-year trainee, he signed a one-and-a-half-year professional contract with York on 6 December 2012, with manager Gary Mills commenting: "Tom has come on unbelievably in the last 12 months and thoroughly deserves his first professional contract".[2][3] He made his first team debut as a 56th-minute substitute for Chris Doig in York's 4–1 home win over Bristol Rovers on 15 December 2012.[6] Allan made his full debut on 13 April 2013 in a 2–0 away win over Northampton Town, and finished the 2012–13 season with five appearances for York.[6]

He joined Conference North side Harrogate Town on a one-month loan on 21 November 2013, having made four appearances for York up to that point in 2013–14.[7] His debut came two days later in a 3–0 victory away to Workington, and made one more appearance for the club before returning to York on 20 December 2013.[8][9] Allan came on as an 89th-minute substitute for Will Hayhurst in York's 0–0 away draw with Fleetwood Town in the play-off semi-final second leg, resulting in the team being eliminated 1–0 on aggregate.[10] This was his sixth appearance for York in 2013–14.[10] He was released by York in May 2014, as the offer of a new two-year contract was withdrawn after he failed to respond to it within a one-month timeframe.[11]

Gateshead

Allan joined Conference Premier club Gateshead, managed by his former York manager Mills, on 30 June 2014.[12] He signed a one-year contract that would be extended by a further year pending on him making a pre-determined number of appearances.[12] He made his debut on 23 August 2014 as a second-half substitute for Lewis Guy in a 6–1 home defeat to Grimsby Town.[8] He scored his first career goal on 25 October 2014 in a 4–0 home win against Gainsborough Trinity in the FA Cup.[8] Allan made 22 appearances and scored two goals[8] for a Gateshead side that ranked 10th in the Conference Premier in 2014–15.[13] He was released by new manager Malcolm Crosby in June 2015.[14]

Alfreton Town

Allan signed for newly relegated National League North club Alfreton Town on a one-year contract on 6 July 2015.[15]
