Sean McAllister is an English footballer, who was born on 15 August 1987. He plays primarily as a central midfielder, but is a lively 'box-to-box' player who likes to cover ground and battle with opposition players.
As a young player McAllister started his career at Bolton Wanderers. In the summer of 2003 Sheffield Wednesday swooped to sign him from the Lancashire club, and Sean joined the Wednesday academy.
Having previously been an unused substitute in the Sheffield derby at Hillsborough, McAllister made his senior debut for Sheffield Wednesday the following week on 25 February 2006, coming on as a substitute after 56 minutes at St Mary's when Wednesday were already 3-0 down against Southampton. Despite not having made an impact on the scoreline (Wednesday lost the game 3-0) Sean impressed and earned himself a place on the subs bench in two more matches towards the end of the 2005-06 season.
On 12 April 2006 Sean was named Sheffield Wednesday Young Player of the Year 2005-06 (despite playing only 35 minutes of first team football) after having impressed with his many reserve team and academy appearances.
McAllister finally made his full debut for Wednesday on the last day of the season (30 April 2006) starting the game against Derby at Pride Park, with Wednesday going on to win the game 2-0. McAllister's performances during the season earned him a senior contract with Wednesday which he signed over the summer of 2006.
On August 19, 2006 Sean scorded his first senior goal for Wednesday. After coming on as a sub for the injured Wade Small in the 11th minute Sean scored Wednesday's first as they recovered from a goal down at half-time to beat Plymouth Argyle 2-1.
