Jamie Allen leaves Halifax Town after appearance on Love Island

Halifax Town have announced former Love Island contestant Jamie Allen has been released from his contract by mutual agreement.

In a statement on Twitter, they thanked him for his contribution to the club and wished him well for the future after three years of service.

Earlier this year, 27-year-old striker Allen appeared to have ruffled some feathers when he joined ITV's hit dating show, only weeks after signing a new contract.

It is unclear whether his appearance on the programme had anything to do with his departure.

His time on Love Island was short-lived, leaving the villa less than a week after he joined as one the show's 'bombshells' and immediately hit it off with Danica Taylor before fans voted the pair off.

The news has been met with mixed reaction from the club's fans.

Jamie Allen joined Halifax Town in July 2019, scoring 3 goals in 20 appearances during his time at the club.
