Halifax Town have announced that Jamie Allen has left the club to participate in Love Island despite handing him a new deal last month.
The 27-year-old will jet off to take part in the ITV Series just weeks before the Yorkshire outfit begin their season in the National League after falling short in the play-offs last season. Halifax have refused to say whether or not they will welcome back the player, who made it clear he wanted to pursue the opportunity.
The club said on social media: "Jamie Allen has decided to join the cast of Love Island 2022, making his intentions clear that the opportunity is very important to him. The matter will be reviewed on his return."
