Jordan Allan (born 20 October 1998) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Forfar Athletic. He has previously played for Airdrie, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Cowdenbeath.[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]

In May 2014, Allan signed for Wolverhampton Wanderers.[6] On 30 August 2017 he returned to his former club Airdrieonians on a six-month loan deal.[7] Allan was released by Wolves at the end of the 2017–18 season.[8]

He signed for Scottish League Two club Cowdenbeath in November 2018, and then moved to Forfar Athletic during August 2020.[9]
