Scarborough Athletic Make First Summer Signing

Scarborough Athletics' first addition of the Summer is 21-year-old attacker Rio Allan.

Rio arrives at the club with a wealth of non-league experience for his age, having played for Harworth Colliery, Rainworth, Hallam and Doncaster City – where his form caught the eye after netting 20 goals in just 13 appearances. 

That run earned him a trial at Stoke City’s U21s, training alongside the first team.

Rio is someone that Scarborough Manager Jono Greening say he has had his eye on for a while and says he is "delighted to welcome him to the squad."

Speaking on his arrival, Rio said: 

“I’ve only ever heard good things about the club – the environment, the people. As soon as the opportunity came up, I couldn’t say no. James Cadman told me loads about Scarborough and said I’d fit in well.”

Describing his playing style, he added: 

“I’m a direct attacking player – I like to take people on, score goals and create chances. I love the pressure in front of goal. One-on-ones, penalties – I enjoy those moments.”
