River Allen (born 7 April 1996) is an English footballer who plays as a midfielder for Truro City on loan from Plymouth Argyle.[1][2]

Career

Allen first signed for the Plymouth Argyle Centre of Excellence at the age of 11, going on to represent Plymouth Argyle's under 18s as an apprentice. He signed his first professional contract for the club in 2014.

He made his first appearance for the club as an 107th-minute substitute for Lee Cox in a League Cup first round game against Leyton Orient on 12 August 2014, in which he took and scored the first Argyle penalty in the penalty shootout after a 33 draw at Home Park.[3] Four days later, he made his first league appearance in the Devon Derby against Exeter City, as a 76th-minute substitute for Tyler Harvey in Argyle's 3–0 League Two home win.[4]

In March 2015, after completing a month-long loan at Gosport Borough in the Conference South,[5] Allen signed for Southern League club Truro City until the end of the 2014–15 season.[6] He made his Truro debut as a substitute in the 2–1 win at Chippenham Town on 21 March.[7]
