Jack Allen will have been a clear choice for a Protected Player spot for Forge men as a young goalkeeper who continues to draw plaudits as he makes his name at the elite level.

A true livewire between the pipes, Allen’s busy game proved suited to the tough requirements called on for a Sixes goalie at The Fly in 2023 making the All-Star Team and following appearances for GB Sixes as well as reserve goalie for England at the World Field Championship, Allen is on a path to the top of the game with a college career at Ohio state also on the horizon.
