Guernsey FC’s record goalscorer Ross Allen is leaving the club and island to live and work in New Zealand.

GFC said he may have played his last game for the Green Lions but both club and player stopped short of ruling out future appearances.

Allen is leaving the island this weekend and is unlikely to feature for Guernsey FC in their league game against VCD Athletic at Footes Lane.

He is the club’s top scorer this season with 11 goals, and leaves with an astonishing record of 239 goals in 226 appearances.

The 30-year-old, who took time out last season to go travelling, said he plans to continue playing in New Zealand.

Guernsey FC have thanked Allen for his contribution to the club since its formation in 2011.
