Curtis Allen (born 22 February 1988) is a Northern Irish footballer who plays as a striker for IFA Premiership club Coleraine.
Allen scored a hat trick in his UEFA Tournament debut as a 16-year-old for Northern Ireland’s U-19 team.[1]
When he was with Lisburn Distillery, he scored 19 league goals in one season and was the leading goalscorer in the league that season. In May 2009 he evoked a clause in his contract which allowed him to leave Lisburn.[2] In the summer, he was linked to a move to two Championship sides, relegated West Bromwich Albion and newly promoted Scunthorpe United[3] but joined Linfield on a two year contract in June 2009.[4]
In May 2011 he signed a 2 year contract with Coleraine.[5]
