Record breaker Jordan Allan has been tipped for the top after clinching a dream move to Wolves.

The Airdrie striker became the youngest player to feature in a British first-team match when he came on as a sub at the age of 14 and 189 days in a 2-0 defeat to Livingston in April last year.

Now Allan is looking to make his mark in England after signing a four-year deal with the Black Country big guns who have just been promoted to the Championship.

And ex-Diamonds boss Jimmy Boyle, who promoted Allan to the first team towards the end of last season, insists the teenage Scot has a bright future in the game.

He said: “This is great news for the boy.

“Jordan's very focused and hard-working. Scoring goals is what he does best. He's a natural finisher.

“He's a team player, listens to what he is being told and has a great attitude.

“I know he has a great family behind him and he will have no problem making this move.

“He merited his debut in the first team last season. He'd done well for the reserves and under-19s and we knew he had ability.

“I'm delighted for him. He's a name to watch.”

Allan, who is from Hamilton, had looked set for a move to Fulham but the deal fell through with Liverpool also showing interest before Wolves swooped.

Boyle added: “He's had a couple of knocks in the last year but is a really strong character.”
