Career

Born in London,[2] Allen-Page played for Crystal Palace as a schoolboy and later became a trainee with Brentford and signed his first professional contract in 2002.[3][4][5] He made his first team debut as an 88th minute substitute in a 3–2 defeat to Peterborough United in the Football League Trophy on 4 November 2003.[6] His contract at Brentford was cancelled by mutual consent under new manager Martin Allen in March 2004,[7] after which he joined Football Conference team Farnborough Town.[8] He made his debut as a 23rd-minute substitute for James Deacons in a 3–0 away defeat to Margate and he finished the 2003–04 season with four appearances for Farnborough,[9][10] after which he signed a new one-year contract with the club.[11] He scored with a "stunning drive" to give Farnborough the lead against Accrington Stanley on 2 October 2004, with the match ending as a 2–1 home victory.[12] He finished the 2004–05 season with 31 appearances and one goal, while Farnborough were relegated to the Conference South,[13] after which manager Frank Gray exercised his option to extend Allen-Page's contract.[14] He made 23 appearances for Farnborough in the 2005–06 season, including an appearance in the play-off semi-finals.[15]

Allen-Page left Farnborough in July 2006 because of the instability at the club and he subsequently signed for Yeading.[16][17] He played for Yeading in a 5–0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on 11 November 2006 in the second round of the FA Cup.[18] He made 39 appearances for Yeading during the 2006–07 season.[19] Following the merger of Hayes and Yeading, Allen-Page joined the new club, Hayes & Yeading United.[17] He scored the opening goal for Hayes & Yeading against Dorchester Town in January 2008, which finished as a 2–2 draw.[20] He finished the 2007–08 season with 46 appearances and one goal for Hayes & Yeading.[21] Hayes & Yeading were promoted to the Conference Premier after the 2008–09 season, during which he made 45 appearances.[22] Allen-Page played as a right midfielder in Hayes & Yeading's first Conference Premier game, which finished as a 1–0 defeat to Kidderminster Harriers on 8 August 2009.[23] In the following match, Allen-Page scored Hayes & Yeading's first goal as a Conference Premier club with a 62nd-minute equaliser in a 1–1 draw at home to Stevenage Borough.[24] He finished the 2009–10 season with 38 appearances and three goals,[25] and was released by Hayes & Yeading on 7 May 2010.[26]

Allen-Page returned to playing in the Conference South after signing for Hampton & Richmond Borough during the summer of 2010.[27] He made 14 appearances for the club in the 2010–11 season before joining Merstham of the Isthmian League Division One South during the summer of 2012.[28][29]
