Former Wolves striker snapped up by Clyde as boss hails "great talent"

Clyde have announced the signing of striker Jordan Allan following his release from Airdrieonians last month.

The 23-year-old helped the Diamonds reach the League One play-off final last season but was among the list of players to leave New Broomfield at the tail end of May.

However, the forward will come up against his former side next season after penning a one-year deal with their League One rivals.

Bully Wee boss Danny Lennon has swooped to secure Allan services ahead of the new campaign, which will see Clyde groundshare with Championship side Hamilton Accies at New Douglas Park.

Announcing the signing, a Clyde statement read: "The club is pleased to announce the signing of ex-Airdrieonians striker Jordan Allan on a one-year deal.

"Allan made history on his Airdrie debut in 2013 when he became the youngest player to play in British league football, aged just 14 years.

"He then spent four seasons with Wolverhampton Wanderers before returning to Scotland to play for Cowdenbeath and Forfar Athletic.

"The 23-year-old rejoined The Diamonds last summer and scored against Clyde in the 2-2 draw in January."

Lennon said of his latest addition: "Jordan is a player who has interested me for a couple of years now.

"A great talent, who at 23 has a lot of games, goals and assists under his belt.

"I am very excited to have him here at Clyde, where I think he can add to those stats considerably in his time here."

Allan's arrival follows the captures of midfielder Ray Grant and Conner Duthie, as well as ex-Hibs star Steven Thicot and former Queen's Park striker Kurtis Roberts last month.
