Career

Born in London, Allen-Page started his career as a trainee with Brentford,[3] making 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.[4] His contract at Brentford was cancelled by mutual consent under new manager Martin Allen in March 2004,[5] after which he joined Conference National team Farnborough Town.[6] He made his debut in a 3–0 defeat to Margate and he finished the 2003–04 season with four appearances for Farnborough,[7][8] after which he signed a new one-year contract with the club.[9] He scored with a "stunning drive" to give Farnborough the lead against Accrington Stanley in October, with the match ending as a 2–1 victory.[10] He finished the 2004–05 season with 30 appearances and one goal, while Farnborough were relegated to the Conference South,[11] after which manager Frank Gray exercised his option to extend Allen-Page's contract.[12] He made 26 appearances for Farnborough in the 2005–06 season, including an appearance in the play-offs semi-finals.[13]

Allen-Page left Farnborough in July 2006 because of the instability at the club and he subsequently signed for Yeading.[14][15] He played for Yeading in a 5–0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on 11 November in the second round of the FA Cup.[16] He made 42 appearances for Yeading during the 2006–07 season.[17] Following the merger of Hayes and Yeading, he joined the new club, Hayes & Yeading United.[15] He scored the opening goal for Hayes & Yeading against Dorchester Town in January 2008, which finished as a 2–2 draw.[18] He finished the 2007–08 season with 46 appearances and one goal for Hayes & Yeading.[15] Hayes & Yeading were promoted to the Conference National after the 2008–09 season, during which he made 47 appearances.[15] He played as a right midfielder in Hayes & Yeading's first Conference National game, which finished as a 1–0 defeat to Kidderminster Harriers on 8 August 2009.[19] He finished the 2009–10 season with 38 appearances and three goals and the club announced that he would be released when his contract expired on 30 June.[15][20]
