Dulwich Hamlet have added former Millwall title-winner Alfie Allen to their ranks.
Allen, 20, came through the Lions’ academy and played a key role in their Professional Development League national title win under Kevin Nugent last season.
Midfielder Allen missed only three of Millwall’s 28 league games last season and played 120 minutes in both the play-off semi-final and final wins over Hull City and Sheffield United respectively.
Dulwich manager Hakan Hayrettin has been rebuilding his squad for the 2023-24 season in the Isthmian League Premier Division and Allen is arguably the most eye-catching signing.
“I’m looking forward to taking the next step in my career into men’s football, which I have not experienced before, and seeing how things pan out.” Allen said on the Hamlet’s website.
“The fact that Dulwich are also a big club at this level and should be playing higher also helped me make the decision to come here and the passion of the coaches.
“When Hak and Terry [Harris, assistant] got in contact, I came down to the ground to meet them and got a good feeling about them.I then went and did some research and looked at their history, they have huge experience and they know how to get promotions.
“I had a really good season last year and now I’m looking at the next step as a positive one and after two trophies last year, hopefully I can win another one, or promotion during the new season.
“I’d say I’m more of a technical midfielder. I can keep possession and play that final pass, and either start an attack or finish it by getting a shot off and getting in dangerous positions. At Millwall I was playing a deeper role but I can also play box-to-box.”
