Allan has coached with Valley Fort for the past four years and has boys playing in the U14 and U16 age groups this season. Having played for clubs and university in the cold and wet West of Ireland, Allan’s love for the game was rekindled by the enthusiasm and support of the Valley Fort community and the parent and pro-coaches that train the kids each week. In addition to his coaching responsibilities, Allan tries his hand at refereeing and has completed HKRU First Aid in Sports courses.
