Jordan Allan (born 20 October 1998) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Clyde. He has previously played for Airdrieonians, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Cowdenbeath and Forfar Athletic.[1]
Career
In April 2013, Allan made his debut for Scottish club Airdrie United as a substitute against Livingston in a 2–0 defeat.[2][3] Still a pupil at Calderside Academy and aged just 14 years and 189 days, Allan became the youngest player to represent a first team in the Scottish Football League,[4] and Britain, breaking the record previously established by Reuben Noble-Lazarus in January 2008;[5] (the British record stood for almost a decade before being broken by Christopher Atherton from Northern Ireland)[6] but the SFL record will never be bettered as the organisation was replaced by the Scottish Professional Football League a few months later.
In May 2014, Allan signed for Wolverhampton Wanderers.[7] On 30 August 2017 he returned to his former club Airdrieonians on a six-month loan deal.[8] Allan was released by Wolves at the end of the 2017–18 season.[9]
He signed for Scottish League Two club Cowdenbeath in November 2018, and then moved to Forfar Athletic during August 2020.[10] Allan returned to Airdrie in June 2021.[11]
