Northern Ireland U21 international Charlie Allen is on the lookout for a new club after being released by Leeds United.

The midfielder has not been offered fresh terms at Elland Road and will therefore be a free agent this summer.

Allen made the move to Yorkshire in August 2020 but failed to make a senior breakthrough, albeit he did captain the club's U21 team.

The 20-year-old would sign an extension to his contract in 2022 until the end of the 2023/24 campaign but his time at Leeds has now come to an end.

Allen made his Linfield debut at the age of 15 and sealed a move to Leeds as a 16-year-old, where he has also been given international recognition at a variety of underage levels.

Allen made the move to York in February this year, making four appearances for the Minstermen under ex-manager Neal Ardley.

However, his loan spell was cut short, after only initially being for one-month, but a call-up for Northern Ireland under-21’s meant that his availability was limited for City.
