It's great news for the club as we have struggled for numbers in the backs and now have injury worries with Tony Gamwell out with a shoulder injury.
We're also a little short of finishers and Allan is a proven try scorer who has established a great rapport with his pal Peter Hodgson.
His loyalty to the club is also unquestionable - he didn't play in the league match at Rovers but was wandering round looking distinctly tense and admitting his stomach was full of butterflies before the game. He said he would have been much happier playing that day - he should get that wish soon.
