Real Salt Lake

On December 31, 2013, it was announced that Allen had signed a homegrown contract with Real Salt Lake of Major League Soccer.^[2] He made his professional debut on March 8, 2014, against the LA Galaxy, in which he came on in the 90th minute for Joao Plata as Salt Lake won 1–0.^[3] On March 29, 2015, after coming on as a substitute in a match against Toronto FC, he scored his first professional goal in the 90th minute, just moments after Toronto had tied the game in a 2–1 win.
