Career

Allison began his career at Cowdenbeath, making his debut aged 16, coming on as a substitute for David Hay after 23 minutes of Cowdenbeath's 4–2 win over Stranraer on 2 December 2006.[1] He left the club in July 2008, after asking to be released from his contract.[2]

Allison then signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle playing in their under-19 side in his first season, including in their semi-final of the Scottish Youth Cup against Rangers. Unfortunately he had to go off injured after 30 minutes having suffered a double fracture of his jaw, with Inverness going on to lose 6–2.[3] His first team debut came on August 2009, as Inverness beat Annan Athletic 4–0 in the Scottish League Cup.[4] At the end of the 2009–10 season he was released by Inverness.[5]

On 26 May 2010, Allison joined Dunfermline Athletic on a one-year deal.[6] He made his first appearance for the club on 30 October 2010, as a substitute for the injured Chris Smith as Dunfermline beat Stirling Albion 3–0.[7][8] His only other appearance for Dunfermline came in a Scottish Cup tie away to Aberdeen on 6 February 2011. Dunfermline lost the game 1–0, the goal coming in injury time when Allison tried to clear a cross but punched the ball against his team-mate Neil McGregor's legs and into the net.[9] At the end of his contract he was released by Dunfermline.[10]

On 6 August 2011, Allison was an unused substitute as a trialist for Stenhousemuir against Brechin City.[11] He then signed for Junior club Linlithgow Rose. In July 2012, Allison signed for Ballingry Rovers[12] and then on 20 June 2014, joined Kelty Hearts.[13]
