Allan training with York City in 2013
Born in York, North Yorkshire, Allan joined the youth system of hometown club York City in 2002 at the age of eight.[4] He signed for Northern Premier League Division One South club Hucknall Town on loan in October 2011, making his only appearance as a substitute against Stamford before returning to York in November.[5][6] 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".[7][4] 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.[8] 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.[8]
He joined Conference North club Harrogate Town on a one-month loan on 21 November 2013, having made four appearances for York up to that point in 2013–14.[9] 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.[10][11] 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.[12] This was his sixth appearance for York in 2013–14.[12] He was released by York in May 2014, as the offer of a new two-year contract was withdrawn after he failed to respond to it within a one-month timeframe.[13]
Non-League
Allan joined Conference Premier club Gateshead, managed by his former York manager Mills, on 30 June 2014.[14] He signed a one-year contract that would be extended by a further year pending on him making a pre-determined number of appearances.[14] 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.[10] He scored his first career goal on 25 October 2014 in a 4–0 home win against Gainsborough Trinity in the FA Cup.[10] Allan made 22 appearances and scored two goals[10] for a Gateshead team that ranked 10th in the Conference Premier in 2014–15.[15] He was released by new manager Malcolm Crosby in June 2015.[16]
Allan signed for newly relegated National League North club Alfreton Town on 6 July 2015 on a one-year contract.[17] In December 2016, Allan dropped down two divisions by joining Northern Premier League Division One North club Tadcaster Albion on loan.[18] He scored on his debut on 17 December 2016 in a 3–2 away win over Radcliffe Borough, dispossessing Lassana Nalatche before shooting into the bottom corner.[19] In June 2017, Allan signed a new one-year contract at Alfreton.[20]
Allan re-signed for York City, with the club now in the National League North, on 17 May 2018.[21]
Style of play
Allan primarily plays at centre back and left back.[22] By late 2016, he had started playing as a left winger.[19]
