Former Leeds United youngster makes club return and signs two-year deal

Recently departed ex-Leeds United youngster Charlie Allen has sealed a club return on a two-year deal.

Attacking midfielder Allen joined Leeds from Northern Irish side Linfield back in July 2020 having progressed through the club’s Academy. The youngster went on to become a regular for United’s under-18s and then under-23s but 20-year-old Allen ended his time at Leeds this summer upon his contract expiring.

The Northern Ireland under-21s international became a free agent but Allen has now gone full circle to rejoin Linfield under boss David Healy on a two-year deal. Healy had been offered trials in England by at least one club but preferred a move back to Linfield.
